Chapter 47 Conflict

Honglai Inn.

A man in a germanium-colored robe got off the carriage.

He looked up at the sign, then straightened his clothes and stood on the spot, fanning gently with a folding fan in his hand.

He was not in a hurry to go in, but the yamen servant beside him trotted in first, and not long after, the boy in gray shorts came out together with the yamen servant.

"Master magistrate." Standing in front of the man, the servant bowed with fists in his arms.

The man also cupped his hands: "My lord came from a long way, but he didn't notify the government to prepare. Please forgive me for being rude."

The servant smiled and said: "Master magistrate, you don't have to be like this. Originally, our lord was just going on tour this time in low clothes, and didn't want to disturb the local officials. It was just that the lord invited me to pay a visit. You don't have to stick to etiquette. Now The prince is waiting in the guest room, just follow me in."

"Okay, okay, please ask this young master to lead the way."

The boy nodded and made a gesture of invitation. The county magistrate straightened his clothes, and then walked into the inn with the boy.

Gongsun Qing was originally the king of Suiyuan, and he came here this time as entrusted by the king's order to thoroughly investigate the corruption of local officials.

After staying here for dozens of days, he saw that the folk customs here are simple and the people live in peace. After investigation, he learned that the local officials here are clean and honest, so he sent someone to the yamen to hand over the invitation, and then invited the magistrate to come here to meet.

The magistrate broke out in a cold sweat after hearing the reason. Although it is well known that he is a clean and honest official, the unannounced visit by the officials in the capital is really unbearable.

After entering the room, he gave a big gift, and then he dared to stand aside and listen to the lecture.

What Yezuo said was just to tell him to work with peace of mind, and he praised him for his good management. In two days, he wanted to check the famous spring in Baoquan Town so that he could return to his life.

It was only half an hour after I said this, but when I was waiting for the magistrate to come out, I was already drenched with sweat.

Standing at the door of the inn, he breathed a sigh of relief, reached out and took out his handkerchief to wipe off his sweat, then hurriedly got into the carriage and walked back with the yamen servant.

Passing by the cross street, the county magistrate who had been resting his eyes closed his eyes and opened his eyes when he heard the noise. Through the sedan chair curtain, he asked, "What's going on outside? It's so noisy, what's the matter?"

The yamen servant in charge of driving the carriage stopped the carriage upon hearing this, and replied: "I'll go down and have a look."

He jumped out of the carriage and walked into the crowd.

The magistrate opened a small corner of the sedan chair curtain and took a look. This place is not far from the inn, and he thought to himself, don't make any mistakes in this critical place.

Worried, he opened the curtain and got out of the car.

Standing by the car, he didn't do anything, just watched.

The people watching the excitement were not watching others, but Ma San and the others who came to make trouble.

The yamen servant shouted to get out of the way, and walked in.

When the people saw the Yamen servants coming, they gave way one after another.

And right in the middle, Ma San was still sitting there crying and howling, and the corpse he carried was still lying there without saying a word.

Li Shishi angrily wanted to kick him to get out, but because she was unfamiliar with this place, she didn't dare to do it easily, and she was afraid of causing some trouble.

Now she can only stand there and wait for Zhang Ke to come back with the servants.

The yamen servant came to Li Shishi, looked down at Ma San sitting on the ground, and understood what had happened.

Then he hurriedly evacuated the onlookers: "Go, go, there is something to see, hurry up and leave, the county magistrate is on the carriage, if you don't want to cause trouble, hurry up and leave!"

The yamen servant yelled twice, and when the people heard that the magistrate was coming, they didn't dare to stay and hurried away.

Ma San also heard this, and then stood up and was about to run.

But Li Shishi would not let him go, she was afraid that if she let him go, it would be even more troublesome.

Then she walked over in two or three steps, grabbed Ma San by the skirt, and shouted: "Don't run! Didn't you say that the things in my house are poisonous? It happens that the adults are here. Let's go to the yamen to clarify what's going on!"

When the yamen servant heard this, he was startled.

This Ma San was able to do evil in Baoquan Town only because he was a distant relative of the county magistrate, and both of his parents died and defected to him.

But who knew that this kid's usual mischief, even if he made a fuss with the county magistrate, it was just a lesson.

Their county grandpa is good everywhere, the only bad thing is having such a bastard relative.

In addition, I just met the prince today, and the county magistrate felt uncomfortable after he came out. If there is a trouble like this, he might be involved as well.

That being the case, this matter is over when it comes to him.

After weighing again and again, he came to Li Shishi and said, "Okay, don't hold on to him anymore, tell me if you have anything to do."

Ma San stopped and looked back.

Having been exposed by Li Shishi's trick just now, she was so flustered that she subconsciously wanted to run when she heard that someone was coming.

Now that I have just stabilized my mind, I turned around and saw that it was an acquaintance, so I felt relieved and said with a smile: "Are you free to go out for a walk?"

"The county magistrate is in front, and he just went to do some errands."

"Oh~" Hearing the words "Great Lord of the County", Ma San made a long sound, and then glanced at Li Shishi
"Don't let me go quickly, do you know who I am! How dare you treat me like this!"

Li Shishi saw that the two seemed to be very familiar with each other, and seeing the behavior of the yamen servant, she seemed to be quite respectful to this person.

There is a doorway at a glance.

It is estimated that my dad is Li Gang's clichéd routine.

Li Shishi has always been annoyed by this kind of rat shit that relies on capital, but now she is not alone, if the Wu family is involved, even she will be the one to blame.

Then she let go of her hand, secretly persuading herself not to be impulsive.

Seeing Li Shishi let go of his hand, Ma San immediately tugged like [-] million. Toad turned his mouth and said contemptuously at Li Shishi: "I'm sorry you don't dare to do anything to me. I'll tell you that you have to think about it Now, either give money, or we go to the yamen and talk about it!"

Seeing Ma San's success, Li Shishi wished she could go up and give him a big slap in the face.

The yamen servant watched from the side, and persuaded: "Okay, this is not a big deal at all, it's just for fun, Ma San, you should take people away quickly, don't cause trouble here. The county magistrate said ..."

The yamen servant hesitated to speak, after all he couldn't bring up such things.

He tried his best to wink at Ma San to persuade him to take his people away.

But Ma San is the one who can read eyes. He grinned and said with his hands on his hips: "This matter is easy to solve, 50 taels of silver. If you give this matter, it will be over, otherwise no one will think about it!"

"50 taels? How dare you ask for it!" Li Shishi's face turned cold, and she looked at Ma San like a knife.

Ma Sanyi looked at it and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that you girl is quite arrogant. I thought of pity you at first, and 50 taels would be fine, but now it seems that if you don't have 100 taels, I'm afraid it won't be able to solve it!"

"Heh, you're quite interesting." Li Shishi smiled and said, "You have to make me lose money if you come to touch porcelain with me, what do you say in this world?"

"Don't worry about whether what I say counts or not. If you don't have money, don't leave here today."

"Sister of the Li family, sister of the Li family, forget it, I'll give you the money!" Zhang Ke hurried over and stood in front of Li Shishi panting, his face flushed red.

He leaned on two legs, panting uncontrollably.

At this glance, Li Shishi knew that she probably hadn't found anyone, and she knew in her heart that even if she found someone, it would be of no use, but it was all just trying to follow others.

Zhang Ke took a breath here, then reached out to take out the money.

Li Shishi hurriedly stopped her, and said, "No need, brother Zhang, no one can take this money today, if we take it, I'm afraid we will have a bad life in the future."

Then Li Shishi looked at the yamen servant and said, "You are from the local area, and the officials are upright and honest. I don't think you can wrong a good person."

"You can also see what happened today. I won't say much, just let the county magistrate decide."

After saying this, she looked at Zhang Ke: "Today's matter has nothing to do with you, it's just that someone with a heart deliberately did it. You pack up your things and go back first, and I'll go to the yamen."
