Chapter 30: Visit the county magistrate

The vermilion lacquer gate of the official residence at the back of the county office was suddenly slammed, and for a moment the door was opened with a gap, and a pair of vigilant eyes appeared in the gap.
These eyes looked at the incoming person and asked: "Who are you and what's the matter?"
Wang Cheng handed out a hot silver greeting note: "Li Juren from Lijiacun is here to visit. Go and inform your sir."
The owner of the eyes was taken aback, immediately opened the door to take the post, glanced at the words "please wait," then closed the door and informed the housekeeper.
Li Yi, dressed in brocade clothes, stood holding his hands, looking at the majestic stone lion, calmly and relaxed.
This new county magistrate doesn't know what it comes from, if he can get along best, if he can't get along, he won't be afraid.
According to the laws of this dynasty, Juren can make up an official. Generally speaking, the prefects of the seventh rank are the prefects of the ranks, but if it is an activity, the prefects of the rank five are not unimaginable.
The post of county magistrate of Dongjiang County is only the seventh rank, except for the official status, the other party is not much better than himself...
"Hey", the door of the vermilion lacquer opened wide, and the middle-aged man with a mustache came out with a smile on his face, and said, "It's really a distinguished guest welcoming the door, please come in!"
Knowing that this is the housekeeper, Li Yi just nodded lightly, and stepped forward.
"My lord has long wanted to invite Li Juren and the squires to come for a cup of tea, but I just took office, and many trivial matters have to be dealt with. I can't get away temporarily..." The housekeeper smiled while walking without changing his face.
The mansion is a courtyard with three entrances, the second entrance is the study room and the flower hall, used for discussion and entertaining guests, and the third entrance is the main house and the wing, where the family members of the county magistrate live. Because the former county magistrate Zhang was dissatisfied that the official residence was too shabby, someone specially repaired it again, built pavilions and rockeries, planted flowers, plants and trees, and the official residence suddenly dazzled.
The small garden in the atrium was full of colorful flowers, with bees and butterflies flying, and the handmaid, who was wearing a water-blue skirt with a slender waist and unable to hold it, walked past the flowers, carrying a flower basket. I saw the housekeeper leading the three strange men, stopped, bowed his head slightly, and walked towards the moon cave gate when the four of them walked and raised their heads.
Li Sheng stared at the beautiful shadow infatuatedly, only to feel that his soul was hooked away.
Suddenly stabbed with an elbow, Li Sheng hurriedly turned around and met Wang Cheng who was smiling ambiguously.
Li Yi in front of the two of them looked at the wonderful spring light in front of them, and his eyes flickered.
Although it is not the first time here, when I came back, the mansion had not been repaired. It was winter again. The garden was bare, there were no green trees and red flowers, no small bridges and running water, and no girl with such graceful figure even walking... …
This official is different!
"The three first use a cup of hot tea, I'll tell the adults." The butler welcomed the three into the flower hall, and immediately a neat maid served tea.
Li Yi picked up the tea cup and pressed the tea lid gently. The tea soup is clear in color and scent is overflowing. Just by smelling the fragrance, you will know that this tea is good. Looking around, the doors and windows are carved with flowers and leaves, and the tables, chairs and benches are all exquisite. Behind the main lobby of the lobby is a splash-ink painting of landscapes, majestic and majestic. Upon closer inspection of the signature, this painting was actually made by a contemporary master.
The more I look at Li Yi, the more passionate I become.
Li Sheng at the lower end was holding a tea and cow drink, and Wang Cheng sitting beside him winked his eyebrows and said: "Just now, the girl's waist was swayed like a willow, did it make Li's heart sway?"
Li Sheng squinted at him and smiled blatantly: "I don't stop my heart shaking, I can't wait to sway with her around the waist!" He said, narrowing his eyes.
"I didn't expect this new county magistrate's house to have such a beautiful girl, whose color is even more than spring flowers..."
The girl whom Li Sheng missed was named Lan Ling. She was standing in the side room connected to the main house, putting the freshly picked flowers into the vase: "Suchai is really disgusting to me! I don't know where it came from. Bastard, those squinted eyes have been stuck to me, I really want to step forward and blind him!"
The girl who called Hongrui curiously said: "Who dares to look at you like that? There are guests from the mansion?"

"Yes, the butler led people to the flower hall. The three of them were dressed well and looked like local squires." Lan Ling snorted, "A look of being hollowed out by wine, you are not a good person at first sight!"
"Sister Lan Ling..." A soft call came, and a young man in Qingyi walked into the house carrying a food box. It was Su Qingze's close man Mingan.
Seeing Lan Ling's expression on his face, Ming An smiled and asked, "Sister, what's the matter? Who offended you?"
Hong Rui smiled and said, "Your sister Lan Ling was taken advantage of by someone using her eyes. This would be so angry that she can't pierce people blind!"
Lan Ling hammered her in embarrassment and asked Ming'an, "Why did you come back so soon? What fun is there on the street?"
"I didn't go around very much, so I just went to a newly opened restaurant for breakfast. The food in that restaurant was pretty good, but I felt so angry." Mingan put down the food box, "Where are the young lady and Master Lin'er? This is the dim sum from that restaurant, Master asked me to bring some back for them to taste."
The two did not care about the snacks, but asked with concern: "What happened?"
"I met two bullying dogs!" Ming'an said the matter immediately. "The two are arrogant and domineering, especially the man with a mole under his mouth. They all want to punch him!"
Lan Ling was taken aback: "A man with a mole under his mouth? What does it look like?"
Ming An described it, and Lan Ling's apricot eyes opened slightly: "Isn't this the person I met just now? Wouldn't the other person you mentioned be a young man wearing a green brocade robe and a sharp-mouthed monkey cheek?"
This time it was Ming'an's turn to be surprised: "How do you know?"
"These two people are in the house! The butler took people to the Flower Hall, probably to see the adults!"
"I have to tell your lord!" Ming An dropped a word and ran away.
After the county magistrate Li Zhiyuan took the case in the study, two letters were placed on the table. One has been opened, he has read it. The other unopened letter, "Qingze Pro-Qi", is for Su Qingze.
Li Zhiyuan couldn't help but muttered: "What the does this mean?" He sighed and handed the letter to the butler who was standing by: "Give it to Qingze."
The steward took it and looked down and said: "Li Yi Li Juren of Lijia Village, Li Sheng, son of Li Yuanwai of Lijia Village, and his friend Wang Cheng are waiting in the flower hall, do you want to see you?"
What kind of messy people are coming to see him? Thinking of the dossier he had read before, Li Zhiyuan frowned and said, "Let him wait."
The housekeeper responded, and as soon as he left the study door, he saw Ming An panting. Mingan hurriedly asked, "Is an adult in there? I have something to report to the adult!"
Seeing Ming'an looked anxious, the housekeeper took people inside to see Li Zhi without asking more questions. After listening, Li Zhiyuan glanced at the opened letter on the table, his eyes cold.
"A small juror is so rampant! Butler, go and tell him, the officer has no time to see him."
Ming An felt happy. Bastards who bullied others, this time they also bullied others so that they could taste the taste of being bullied!
When Mingan left, Li Zhiyuan said to Master: "The weather has been good these two days, why don't you go to a nearby village for a walk?" He just arrived and didn't understand many things. Although there are registrations on the file, he can transfer to Zhang County. He couldn't believe that this mansion was built so uniquely, making him rich.
"My lord, please." The master with a goatee arched his hands.
Besides, Li Yi and the three were sitting in the flower hall drinking tea, and Wang Cheng was a little impatient after drinking one cup after another without seeing anyone.
"What's the matter? It's been half an hour, why isn't the county grandfather coming yet?"
Li Yi frowned. What's the matter with this magistrate?
"Li Juren is really sorry!" The butler walked in quickly, with apologetic eyes. "The adults are discussing matters in the study, and I really can't get away. I will entertain Li Juren and the squires when I have free time..."
Li Yi's face suddenly sank. The faces of Wang Cheng and Li Sheng couldn't see where they were. But the other party is an official, what can they do if they are white?
He politely sent the three people out of the gate, the butler turned around, the smile on his face faded.
"It's a vain scholar, I don't understand any etiquette!"
Li Yi walked ahead with a sullen face. Li Sheng smiled beside him and said: "It's still early, why don't we go to Changchun Tower to listen to a little song?" He proposed to meet the county magistrate. Will you see them? Right now Li Yi's heart was full of anger, and he had to put it out.
The girl in Changchun Tower was the most gentle and conciliatory. Li Yi was gloomy and needed someone to solve it, so she agreed.
The three of them played in the Changchun Tower for a day, until Xu Shi Li Sheng's little servant came to look for them, and the three of them left drunk.
"Brother Mingde, let's come back another day..." Li Sheng squinted his eyes and burped, and asked Xiao Chou to send Li Yi home.
Li Yi said "Yes" with a red face, and half-closed his eyes, he was helped by the Li family's young man to get into the carriage.
"Open the window to the autumn moonlight, put out the candle and untie the skirt..." Li Sheng's eyes were blurred, and he hummed a little tune with a giggle. Wang Cheng beside him was also very drunk, walking staggering. Their home was on the same street, and they left together.
The street was quiet, with only one or two meows occasionally.
Suddenly a black figure jumped off the high fence. Before Li Sheng recovered, he was put in a bag!
Wang Cheng sat on the ground and watched Li Sheng struggling in his cloth bag. He was half awake from the wine.
A biting chill came to his heart, Wang Cheng looked around, no one was found!
"Who is pretending to be a ghost there?" Wang Cheng swallowed and shouted out boldly.
But the night was faint, no one answered him at all.
Wang Cheng was panicked, leaning on the wall to stand up, and suddenly a hand patted his shoulder gently...
"!" His eyes opened wide, and Wang Cheng only felt that the hairs on his body were standing up. His eyes moved back slowly, and he saw a dark figure standing behind him in the corner of his eye!
"!!!" The heartbeat almost stopped! Wang Cheng's mouth was open like a fish lacking water. He wanted to call for help, but his voice got stuck in his throat.
"Save...Save..."
As soon as Black Shadow wanted to do it, Wang Cheng rolled his eyes and fainted first.
Looking at Wang Cheng, who was lying softly and Li Sheng who was knocked out, the shadow no longer lingered, and a little jumped to the wall.
