I, my father-in-law, set off a frenzy of public examinations in ancient times

Chapter 146 Two birds with one stone

These "land snakes" have been working for tigers and misbehaving in Yueyang's territory. Relying on the inaction of the former county magistrate and the "decentness" in front of the magistrate, in the past, they either beat the yamen servants who came to collect money and grain, or promised huge profits. ;

As a result, the current yamen servants see these "local snakes", whether they are "fear" or "love", they always avoid them in every possible way, rejecting the decree of the superiors to arrest the powerful, and even ran to Dongting Lake to hide for ten and a half months.

Isn't that the case with the yamen servant Guan Yujun and Han Yinchu met when they disembarked? ——

Yue Qi has long made a list of those government servants who are used to "oppressing the common people" and "involving and clinging", and waits for the settlement after the fall;
That Hao Qiang looked at all this with cold eyes, let out a chuckle of unknown meaning, and sat down on the small table where the clerk was writing...

Yue Qi narrowed his eyes, and slapped the gavel: "Bold! Before I tell you to kneel down, you dare to push your nose and face to sit down?"

That Hao Qiang was taken aback, he slid directly to the ground, fell on his ass, and grinned his teeth in pain while clutching the base of his tail.

Many of the yamen servants watching around wanted to step forward to help this person up, but Yue Qi stopped their eager steps with a "Huh?"

"I'll say it again, put this person in prison!" Yue Qihu pouted, showing the aura of a superior, not at all like a young man who just stepped into the officialdom from school.

Most of the yamen servants looked at each other in blank dismay, and almost all retreated in unison.

Even though Yue Qi was humiliated in front of that tyrant, he didn't feel annoyed at all, he just swept Sen Han's gaze over these yamen servants one by one, and made eye contact with everyone...

When the team leader came into contact with Yue Qi's line of sight, he subconsciously shivered——

The magistrate's eyes are really too frightening...

Yue Qi's gaze is not frightening to be honest, and there is not even the slightest malice in his eyes, it is just as flawless as snow, let alone the slightest warmth;
But when those eyes swept over, they fell silently on the cedar like snowflakes, thicker and denser... until finally, the seemingly upright cedar tree would be crushed and covered by the University , buried...

This is a kind of silent deterrence and suppression, but it is even more breathless...

The team leader bit the bullet and went out, he turned around slightly, and looked at the "colleagues" behind him——

After a few more breaths, about [-] people from all walks of life finally came out; the team leader grabbed the tyrannical collar, just like he had been eager to do for a long time...

"Yes, magistrate! The villain will throw these "recalcitrant" troublemakers into prison!——"

In the eyes of the other yamen servants and the Hao Qiang who sat on the ground and opened his mouth in astonishment, he catered to Yue Qi and dragged the Hao Qiang down like a dead dog.And this feeling is really great.

When night fell, Yue Qi was still up in the lobby lighting up the lights and fighting at night, and the clerk beside him blinked his red eyes: "Master Zhixian, go to rest..."

Yue Qi looked at the account book of money and food, and said brightly: "You go to rest by yourself, I never asked you to accompany me..."

He stretched out his hand to the place where the documents were placed, unfolded a book that was obviously "birthday invitation", and read it at a glance.

"Heh..." Yue Qi sneered, "I haven't dealt with the biggest rat in your Luo family yet, and now you invite me to a birthday banquet? It's really shameless..."

Then he threw the invitation card with red background and gold powder on the ground without mercy, and the clerk felt a pain in his heart when he saw it.

"But..." The scribe was still immersed in the entanglement of whether to continue to stay up all night with Shangfeng, and a hasty shout interrupted the scribe.

The team leader whom I met during the day ran up to Yue Qi panting heavily, breathing slowly for a long time, and he was not stuttering when he spoke——

"Lord magistrate, those yamen servants... are gone again!——"

As expected, but now there is a good strategy that can "kill two birds with one stone"!
Yue Qi was holding the second letter in his hand, his hands trembling almost invisible: "But you want to live on Dongting Lake again?"

The team leader thought he had misheard the slightly trembling voice, and hurriedly answered "Yes".

"But don't worry, magistrate, I will take the rest of the people to chase after me. Even if I search the city with the household registration register and visit all the relatives and friends of those people, I will definitely catch them back!——"

Yue Qi shook his head disapprovingly: "You don't know which direction they are going, where do you go to catch them? And there are many of them, and you are few, how to catch them? Besides, it's time to employ people, so let them Go...these mobs are not here for a few days, even if they are absent from work, their wages and salaries in the future will be counted as yours—"

The team leader first raised his head in surprise, and then he was ecstatic, thanking Yue Qi non-stop.

"However... the gate of the city has already been closed! Most of these people are left in the city in pieces, right?"

The team leader nodded, otherwise, could he suggest arresting people at home?
The head of the team was a little overwhelmed, wondering why the magistrate asked this?Don't you plan to detain people back? ...

"Squad leader, you go and tell the soldiers guarding the city that the city gate will be opened tonight to let those yamen servants go out!" Yue Qi made a decision.

"what?"

"what!"

The team leader and the clerk simultaneously expressed surprise and strange doubts.

After becoming an official, Yue Qi also experienced the joy of being unambiguous. He frowned, flicked his sleeves, and said, "Why don't you go soon?!"

"Ah?! Oh, oh, yes!—" The team leader ran out to convey the order after receiving the order.

Yue Qi stood up, stretched his waist, picked up the invitation card on the ground, and let out a faint smile: "I want to come to this birthday banquet, it will be very interesting!"——

"My lord, are you going to the birthday banquet held by the Luo family again?" the scribe asked curiously.

It is said that "a woman's heart is a needle in the bottom of the sea", and this man is not unreasonable! ——

Yue Qi said with a smile: "My lord, why have you ever said that you can't go?..."

Not only won't you not go, but you will also join hands with others to prepare a "big gift"! ...

After finishing speaking, Yue Qi picked up the invitation card and the letter he just held in his hand to study, hummed a song and went back to the inner room to rest.

Seeing this, the scribe finally breathed a sigh of relief, finally he doesn't have to suffer with his boss anymore!

But... What magic power does the second letter that the magistrate read just now have?Can make him feel so excited all of a sudden? ...

The clerk couldn't figure it out, but he vaguely remembered seeing the word "Jingzhou Mansion" on the envelope...

　Cedar trees are in Taiwan, don't be misled...
