Crossing the Swordsman: Lin Pingzhi, the Swordsman of Evil

Chapter 54 The county magistrate went to the posthouse to talk, except for Shuoshu's hint

"The county magistrate is here!"

With the shout of the yamen servant, all the officials surrounded by the county officials saluted.

The county magistrate is an official of the eighth rank, and he is in charge of a county's affairs when the county magistrate is absent.

Lin Pingzhi also bowed his hands to him.

Although in the eyes of people like Lin Pingzhi, he is just a "sesame mung bean" official, but now he is the biggest official in the county, and if the plague is to be cured, the cooperation of the court is necessary.

The current official is not as good as the current management, so Lin Pingzhi also gave him some thin face.

No matter what the reason was, the county magistrate was still sitting in the city to preside over the epidemic during the epidemic.

With this little courage, Lin Pingzhi respected him three points.

The county magistrate walked up to Lin Pingzhi with square steps, then cupped his hands and asked, "I don't know what happened in this city to offend you and make you so angry."

Lin Pingzhi clasped his hands at this time and said: "It's nothing important. I didn't expect Mr. Xiancheng to come in person. Mr. Xiancheng came just in time. My sister is now in the post house. She has some things to discuss with Mr. Sir. Please~!"

Speaking of Lin Pingzhi, he raised his finger and pointed in the direction of the posthouse. The county magistrate and the commander exchanged glances, and then followed Lin Pingzhi to the posthouse.

Lin Pingzhi turned his head and glared at the inspector.

The patrol inspector trembled with fright in his eyes.

"Thousands of miles to be an official is only for money"

Serving as an official will "benefit" one party.

Lin Pingzhi could bear to scratch himself a little bit.

Although people are equal, but because of the impermanence of life, human quality, and fortune, they can be divided into different grades.

You can't take the saint's moral standards to force everyone.If everyone has the moral standard of a saint, is a "sage" still a saint?The saint is also an ordinary person.

For some small mistakes that are not very harmful, a small punishment and a long memory are enough for him.Take people's lives if they don't make a move.

But he will never let go of such a bastard who sells fake medicines and harms the country and the people.

Although Lin Pingzhi really wanted to kill this bastard who sold fake medicines, but now is not the time.

Although this inspection is just a rank nine sesame official, no matter how small the official is, he is still an official.You can't use bean buns as dry food.

He still can't do the irrational behavior of killing the imperial court official in the street.

If it was only him, the inspector's head would have moved long ago.

With Lin Pingzhi's current martial arts, the precious armor on his body, and the sword in his hand, let alone these small court officials, even if Yu Canghai came, he would not be afraid.

It was easy for him to kill the inspector and break out of the encirclement.

But now Fu Ying was infected with the plague and was dying in the post house.What's more, he is the young master of Fuwei Escort Bureau, a man with family and business.

If he offends the imperial court on the surface, countless troubles will await.

Thinking of this, Lin Pingzhi planned to let this bastard live a few more hours.

Arriving in the post house, Fu Ying braced herself up and leaned back on the bed.

The county magistrate came in at this time, and he asked: "The lower official is the magistrate of this county. I don't know what the girl has to say, so I want to tell the lower official."

Fu Ying took a breath at this time and said: "I wonder if the adults can show the little girl the prescription for treating the plague."

The county magistrate was a little hesitant at this time, and the commander beside him said at this time: "Master Xiancheng, although this girl is young, she does have real talents and learning. Just now, the official and other doctors have inquired, and this girl proposed The 'Stone Washing and Precipitation Method' is indeed a good way to filter water for poisoning."

Hearing what the commander said, the county magistrate took out the prescriptions prescribed by the doctors recruited by the court from his sleeve.

Then he handed it to Lin Pingzhi, and after Lin Pingzhi took it, he stepped forward and showed it to Fu Ying for inspection.

Fu Ying looked at the prescription carefully, and then asked: "I don't know how effective this prescription is?"

The magistrate spread his hands and shook his head.

Lin Pingzhi sat by her bed and asked, "Is there something wrong with this prescription?"

Fu Ying shook her head at this moment and said: "No! Although this prescription can't cure the disease, it can also slow down the patient's illness. It's impossible to see no effect at all."

After hearing Fu Ying's words, it was the county magistrate's turn to frown.

Unless it is relying on relatives' nepotism.

Otherwise, no one who can be an official or eunuch is mediocre.

The county magistrate is also the same, after listening to Fu Ying's words, remembering Lin Pingzhi's aggressive appearance in front of the medicine shop just now, and the origin of his county's traditional Chinese medicinal materials, he said: "Could it be that this medicine is fake?"

Fu Ying didn't speak, but smiled politely at the county magistrate.

Seeing that he had guessed right, a dark cloud suddenly appeared on the face of the county magistrate.

But at this point he sighed again.

At this time, the county magistrate said to the commander beside him: "Please, sir, go out and don't let other people in. I have something to discuss with this girl."

The infantry commander of the state capital is not a fool. Even if he understands the meaning of the county magistrate, after all, there are some things that it is difficult for them, officials, to come forward, so they need to use some "quack tricks".

Although these local officials also have some "minor problems" on weekdays, they can clearly distinguish which is more important, and know what money can be taken and what money can't be taken.

For someone like the inspector who "could face the wind and seek death", they would naturally be more than happy to send him to seek death.

Besides, if the local plague is cured, all of them will do a great job.At least you have to be promoted one level.

Patrolling and inspecting such retarded idiots, the stumbling blocks in the official career must naturally be "dealt with".

The leader said at this time: "Lord Xian Cheng, please talk slowly, yes! Please also pass the previous prescription to the lower official, and the lower official will ask the doctor sent to fetch the medicine for the girl."

Lin Pingzhi handed the prescription to the Commander at this time, then cupped his hands and said, "Then I will thank you, Commander-in-Chief!"

After finishing speaking, the commander closed the door with the prescription and left.

Lin Pingzhi looked at the magistrate and said, "Master Xiancheng, if you have anything to say, you can say it now."

At this time, the county magistrate cupped his hands and said: "To be honest, the matter of counterfeit medicine is really tricky. This matter must be done by people from the Jianghu like Shaoxia, and it is inconvenient for us officials to do it."

Lin Pingzhi asked strangely: "Why is this? Now that the county magistrate is not here, the county magistrate is the head of a county, and the inspector is only a ninth-rank official. The county magistrate surpasses him in terms of rank and power. Why do you find it difficult?"

The county magistrate sighed and said: "The young man is in the rivers and lakes, so he doesn't know much about our official affairs. There is a saying in the official website that 'it's good to enjoy the shade under the big tree', and the common people often say 'officials and officials protect each other' .Although the inspector is a small official, he is backed by the adults of the state capital."

"The inspector's wife was a famous city prostitute on the Qinhuai River back then. She met many dignitaries and dignitaries in the state capital, and she had a very wide network. Later, she was bought by the son of the prefect's family and became a concubine. She was in the mansion with The magistrate's father and son are not clear. Later, the magistrate's son became engaged to a certain lady in Beijing."

"Because this woman knew a lot about them, she was very troublesome, but the magistrate was reluctant to kill her. So he rewarded her to the book boy who accompanied him since childhood, and under the arrangement of the magistrate, let her This book boy came to Funing County to do an inspection."

"Although the original magistrate had already stepped down, his son is still a magistrate under the promotion of his father-in-law in Beijing. Although he is only a small ninth-rank official, his wife is a city prostitute on the Qinhuai River, but he Behind him is a fourth-rank magistrate. What's more, this magistrate is protected by senior officials in Beijing."

"In this way, the lower official can't do anything. Presumably, most of the money he collected has been honored to the magistrate. That's why he did such a thing with confidence. And even if the lower official arrests him, his With the support of the prefect behind him, he will not be punished once the limelight is over."

"After all, these officials are not protecting him, but themselves. If the investigation continues along the line of inspection, the involvement behind it will be too great. Generally, cases with extensive involvement are basically closed. If If the government comes to take care of it, at most the shopkeepers and suppliers of those pharmacies will be executed by the autumn. I don’t know if the young man understands what it means to be an official?”
