Congratulations on opening the coffin

Chapter 619 Time is a Butcher's Knife
county office,
Now the evil dragon that caused the disaster was finally wiped out, but the county magistrate of Hanshui Town was not happy at all at this time, and even the cold sweat that kept pouring out of his back almost drenched the heavy government office.

It's just because of the woman in moon-white clothes who occupied his official position above him at this time.

She was flipping through the account books and papers of Hanshui Town in recent years. The county magistrate of Hanshui Town was as nervous as he was facing a surprise inspection by his boss. He swallowed again and couldn't help interrupting the deathly silence. Flies rub their hands.

"That, Your Royal Highness, the children you ordered to send... the living sacrifices from various villages and villages have all been sent back safely and securely."

"Why, you still want me to praise you?"

The Yuebai woman lightly raised her eyes, and glanced at the county magistrate below the hall. Her awe-inspiring aura made him shake his head like a rattle: "I don't dare! I don't dare!"

"As a parent official, you actually listened to the words of a noble gentry and did such a thing. Do you know why I didn't chop off your head immediately?"

The county magistrate fell to his knees on the ground with a "plop", and cried out with ashen face: "I don't want to, but the princess, you don't know, that tall and wealthy family has a lot of connections and great influence. If you don't listen to him, I'm afraid you won't see me long ago..."

He was crying out for grievances when an inkstone was thrown from the high hall, hitting his forehead, and the ink on it even made his face black, but he didn't even dare to cry out for pain, trembling and hastily lowered his head go down.

"If it wasn't for the fact that the heavy snow on the Han River hadn't stopped and the handover and replacement of officials could not be carried out, you would still be useful. I would have dragged you to the Meridian Gate and beheaded the people of Hanshui Town as apology! Your black hat is better than those who were killed. Is the life of the sacrificed child more important?"

"I don't dare, I dare not!" At this moment, he was so frightened that there were only a few words to say back and forth.

Shen Ruo snorted coldly, calmed down her anger, and was too lazy to argue with this kind of person, threw out the account book she had checked just now, and threw it at the feet of the county magistrate of Hanshui Town: "Over the years, you have taken in a lot from the Gao family. Good thing, now is the time for you to do business. Now that the Han River is suffering from this strange heavy snow, the farmers are afraid that they will not be able to harvest at all this year. All the money you got will be used to subsidize the villagers. ?"

The county magistrate was stunned for a moment, and suddenly hesitantly said: "However, the money also includes the operation of the yamen. If it is all taken out, there are so many people in the county yamen, what should we do?"

The woman in the high hall looked down at him condescendingly: "This is your problem, besides, a small county government actually supports more than 20 people, how many of them are fishing in troubled waters, don't you, the county magistrate, know? "

"In short, this snow disaster must be passed smoothly. If any household is starved to death or frozen to death, you will pay for your life."

"Yes, I will do my best to help the common people get through this difficult time together."

At this time, a yamen servant ran in, looked at the woman sitting in the main hall, then at the magistrate kneeling on the ground, hesitated for a while, and said: "My lord, those children in Li's Village refused to leave, they must Crying and yelling to find some sister, are you going to drive them away by force..."

"Bah bah, what nonsense are you talking about? We are parents and officials, how can we be so rude to the people under our rule? Besides, they are still children!"

The county magistrate hurriedly stood up, interrupted the yamen servant's report, secretly glanced at the woman sitting on it with his anxious little eyes, seeing that she didn't say anything, he straightened out his weak chest like a chicken, righteously Words accuse Yachai.

"You boy, that irritable temper should be changed. Our salaries are taxes paid by the common people. They are our parents. We must be as patient and gentle as our parents. Do you understand?"

"Okay, anyone can say big words, go and do what I ordered first, and I will go and see those children."

"Well, well, please rest assured, Your Royal Highness, I will definitely take care of it for you."

Seeing her get up, the county magistrate came over in a fawning manner, and sent her away respectfully.

Shen Ruo walked out of the door, and snowflakes like goose feathers fluttered down. She looked at the sky, and her expression became more serious. Just as she was about to walk to the gate of the county government office, a person came in front of her, and she was slightly stunned: " you are leaving?"

The person who came had bandages on his hands and feet, and his rough bearded face looked haggard. This person was Lin Lang who had come to rescue people before. After being shot down from mid-air by a giant beast, in order to protect Shen Bingxin in his arms, Instead, he was seriously injured.

Later, after Shen Ruo solved those troubles, she found the county magistrate, showed her identity, and asked him to rescue the children she had left on the shore. Just in time, she found Lin Lang unconscious and Shen Bingxin who was guarding him, so she sent them to the magistrate. The two of them took them back together.

She looked at the injuries on his body, and said softly: "You are still seriously injured, you can stay for a few more days, otherwise with your current body and Shen Bingxin, I am afraid that even the gate of the county government will not be able to see you." After walking a few steps, I fainted on the road again."

I don't know how much he has suffered in these years, the whole person is completely different from him back then, if it wasn't for Shen Bingxin by his side, maybe if he walked past her, Shen Ruo might not be able to recognize people. come out.

She couldn't help sighing again, time is really a butcher's knife!
Lin Lang, who already looked like a down-and-out uncle, was silent for a long time before saying in a low voice: "...I want you to take your heart back."

"What did you say?" Shen Ruo thought she had heard it wrong.

He took a deep breath, and said dejectedly: "I can't give her the life she deserves. Following me, a piece of trash, will only make life more difficult for her. After all, she is the second lady of Xiangfu. Please take her back."

Shen Ruo's mood was complicated for a while, and she wanted to say a lot, but she also felt that this was someone else's business after all.

In the end, she only asked, "What about you?"

"Me? I'm just a wanted criminal. Maybe I will die in some deep alley one day... You don't need to worry about me, let alone sympathize with me. I really came to say goodbye to you. Please, Xin'er is you!"

After he said this in a deep tone, he made a deep bow to Shen Ruo, then turned around resolutely, stepped on the snow, and left with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

The snowflakes were still falling, and soon covered his footprints, as if he had never been here.

Lin Lang was born in a noble family and was the proud son of heaven, but his whole life seemed to be a life of failure. Life kept crushing his dignity and arrogance. In the end, he became a dust of the times.

Shen Ruo didn't know whether he should expect them to meet again, or what would happen to him at that time?

The most miraculous thing in this world is that there are countless people who are experiencing their own lives where you can't see them. They are all working hard or struggling, or living happily or desperately.
