I, the ninth grade county magistrate, scare the empress to tears at the beginning!

Chapter 6 Not only is he greedy, he is also a traitor!

What comes into view is an object that reaches straight into the sky, standing between heaven and earth, connecting the sky and the earth, like a pillar of heaven.

This is actually a loft!
I don’t know how many floors there are, I can’t count them at all. I can’t see the top when I look up.

The attic is very exquisitely built, not only is it high, but it is also engraved with various cloud patterns and auspicious animal pictures, which are lifelike.

"Rebel!"

Jiang Linglong inevitably had such an idea in her mind.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, it was expressly stipulated that high-rise buildings were not allowed to be built, and the number of floors was limited according to professional titles.

Even princes can only build eight-story pavilions at most.

Only an emperor can build nine floors.

The ultimate nine digit number.

Represents supreme rights.

At this moment, a small county magistrate is so bold and builds such a tall building. This is simply treason.

It's so rebellious and bold.

Even if he is a corrupt official, he is still a traitor!

Jiang Linglong's impression of the dog officer was extremely bad, and she wished she could kill him immediately to serve as a warning to others.

"This is the Star Observation Tower! It was built by my husband for us to watch the stars. When the sky clears at night, I will take you to have a look." Ning Youruo looked at Jiang Linglong and explained.

"To please women? Huh, it's hard to be successful."

Jiang Linglong was disdainful, but her expression remained unchanged, saying: "Then I'll thank Sister Ruoruo first, but I dare to ask my sister, it's disrespectful for my husband to act like this, aren't you afraid..."

Ning Youruo smiled and shook her head, "No one has cared about this place for a long time. Over the years, the court has forgotten this matter and even forgotten such a place. Who would care."

"What's more, Xianggong said that respect and disrespect are all in the heart, not in these aspects. The Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty listened to the slander of the traitor and sent Xianggong to this place. Xianggong worked tirelessly for this place without any complaints. But Xianggong is like this I haven’t even seen any salary or salary every year..."

"So you started to take advantage of others? It's just an excuse. My sister is a bit naive."

With a sigh in her heart, Jiang Linglong couldn't explain clearly and continued to walk with Ning Youruo.

……

"Okay, okay! What a corrupt official!"

As Jiang Linglong walked, her eyes became colder and colder.

Everywhere you look, there is almost nothing ordinary.

The luxurious palaces, with red walls, green tiles, and jade railings, are no worse than the imperial palaces of the Zhou Dynasty in terms of style and luxury.

The area of ​​the entire county government office was almost beyond her imagination.

This can't be considered a county government, it's better to be called the second imperial palace.

Not only that, even every place on the ground is covered with bricks and stones, and they are all made of high-quality white marble, and they are tightly fitted. How much manpower, material and financial resources are spent just to transport these bricks and stones?

She had read many archives of the late emperor since she was a child, and she knew very well that such things would waste people and money.

Not to mention the Star Observation Tower, how many bones would it take to build just these palaces?
When she ascended the throne, she swore that she would never build a single brick for herself in her lifetime. Even if it was the emperor's tomb after her death, she would choose to keep it simple.

But at this moment, a small county magistrate went so far.

Hateful, hateful, hateful.

With such corrupt officials, how could the Great Zhou survive?

Jiang Linglong stepped on the bright floor, her heart bleeding gloomily.

No one can understand her mood at this moment.

She wants to be a wise king, change the situation of the Zhou Dynasty, let the people have enough food and clothing, live and work in peace and contentment, and create an unprecedented peaceful and prosperous age...

But for her, it was already over before it even started.

The start of the business collapsed before it was successful.

And the culprit of all this is these moths like Da Zhou!
How can she not hate!
I hate the greed of corrupt officials and my own powerlessness.

A small county could do this. She could already imagine what the outside world was like now.

There were complaints and grief everywhere.

The more luxurious it is inside, the harder life is for the people outside, who are in dire straits and struggling to survive. "How's it going? Do you still like it here? Many buildings here were designed by my husband himself, and we like them all."

Jiang Linglong managed her expression very well, and Ning Youruo didn't notice anything strange and asked.

Jiang Linglong kept sneering in her heart and nodded in agreement.

"I wonder if my sister is getting married? What are your plans now?" Ning Youruo asked.

"really."

Jiang Linglong's heart froze, and the dog officer really had such a plan.

no way!

It's impossible!

It's better to kill her than marry this dog official.

"I'm just afraid that I will disappoint my sister."

Jiang Linglong declined politely, "I will be leaving soon. I have been away from home for many days, and I am afraid that my family will be worried."

Ning Youruo nodded and said regretfully, "That's such a pity."

"My sister is so beautiful, if we can serve my husband together..."

"However, sister, don't refuse in a hurry. This matter can be discussed. My husband is not only excellent in medical skills, but also involved in other fields. I believe that you will like my husband when you meet him..."

"My sister is kind and understanding."

Jiang Linglong interrupted, took a deep breath, tried to suppress the resentment in her heart, and said to Ning Youruo: "Sister Ruoruo, I want to go outside and have a look, is that okay?"

She knew that this request might be a bit difficult, so she added, "Don't worry, sister, I don't want to escape, I just feel that this place is nice and full of outstanding people. I haven't seen this beautiful scenery in the mountains for a long time."

"Okay, I just have nothing to do, so I'll go out with you to take a look."

Ning Youruo agreed readily, which was beyond Jiang Linglong's expectation.

"As expected, my sister has a simple mind and is not afraid at all that I will see changes in the outside world..."

Jiang Linglong sighed softly and followed Ning Youruo towards the county government office.

Passing through the garden corridors, small bridges, flowing water, green lakes, pavilions and pavilions, everything was so beautiful that Jiang Linglong had the illusion of returning to the palace.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the two of them walked through the backyard and arrived at the front hall.

The front hall was equally luxurious, and I finally saw someone other than the maid.

I think they are all from the county government.

These people seemed lazy and had nothing to do, which made Jiang Linglong shake her head.

The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. Isn't that what it is?

With dog officials like this, people dare to cry out for injustice?

This is probably why this place is almost deserted.

When you walk out of the Yamen, you will see a huge square like a lake.

In the square, there were almost no fallen leaves and no pedestrians. It was so empty and deserted.

At the edge of the square are streets leading to various places.

The street at the front is very spacious and can accommodate eight horses running parallel.

On both sides of the street, there was a bit of popularity, with the sound of hawking and laughter lingering in my ears.

The aroma of various foods wafts along the air, making people unable to help but swallow their saliva.

"This……"

Jiang Linglong was a little surprised.

This seemed a little different from what she had imagined.

Isn’t Liangzhou a disaster year?
Are there hungry refugees everywhere?

Why is this place such a prosperous scene?
No one has a sad look on their face, they are smiling and polite.

This kind of scene, let alone Liangzhou, could not be like this during the imperial city's heyday.
