Chapter 399 The ruling party, Guobei County Magistrate Lanruo Temple.

Qin Zhiyong came to Guobei County with the court's transfer order.

Looking at the city wall that might collapse at any moment, Qin Zhiyong frowned slightly.The situation in Guobei County is even more dilapidated than I expected.The people in the county town are all harboring ulterior motives, and it can be said that it is the moment when the ceremony is broken and the music is broken.

It is not an easy task to manage the entire Guobei County so that it is peaceful and prosperous.

It was Qin Zhiyong's first time in power, and this job was very challenging for him.

Entering the city, Qin Zhiyong was extorted eight coins by the soldiers guarding the gate.

Qin Zhiyong was not short of these eight coins, but for ordinary people, it was not a small amount of money.

A brawny shirtless man walked towards Qin Zhiyong and kicked Qin Zhiyong directly.

Qin Zhiyong avoided it easily, and said, "Man Wu, why did you attack me?"

The brawny man had a fierce look on his face, and said with a sneer, "You blocked my way and didn't kick you to death, so you escaped quickly. See what I look like, and if you meet me in the future, stay away."

Qin Zhiyong's height is about the same as that of a strong man, but his figure is not as strong as him.The strong man just regards Qin Zhiyong as an ordinary scholar, and would not think that Qin Zhiyong looks emaciated, but in fact he is an extraordinary and strong man.

Qin Zhiyong said: "I remember your appearance, and I also remember your words. The tone of your speech, I think you can be regarded as a person in the county. I believe we will meet again soon."

Qin Zhiyong has not taken office yet, and has not punished the strong man for the time being. As long as he takes office, Qin Zhiyong will rectify Guobei County, which will be justified.

While it was still early, Qin Zhiyong inspected every street and alley in the county.In the future, Qin Zhiyong will go to the countryside to investigate. Only in this way can he have a clear understanding of the situation in the entire county.

When the country is about to perish, evildoers will inevitably be born.

In the imperial court at this moment, the national teacher is in power, and the treacherous officials control the government. The whole world can be said to be in dire straits.

People in the county town seem to be living in hell, and one can imagine what kind of life the people outside the city are living.

Qin Zhiyong's spiritual power also sensed that there were many innocent souls in the county.It's just that it's daytime, and they haven't come out to move yet.

Thinking about how to govern Guobei County, Qin Zhiyong came to the gate of the county government before he knew it.

The yamen servant guarding the door saw that Qin Zhiyong was wearing linen clothes and did not look like he was rich, so he thought he was a poor scholar.

The yamen servant immediately scolded: "Boy, this is the county yamen, not a place you can come to casually. Get out of here."

Qin Zhiyong was not angry at all, and said calmly: "Go and tell the county magistrate and master, just say that Qin Zhiyong, the new magistrate of Guobei County, is here."

In front of the yamen servant, Qin Zhiyong took out the transfer order issued by the governor.

The yamen servant is a bully.

Qin Zhiyong showed his identity, and like a chameleon, he immediately said humbly and respectfully: "It turns out that it is the new county lord. The younger one will report it. Please come with the young one."

Qin Zhiyong entered the county government office and waited patiently in the lobby.

The confused county magistrate brought his master to the lobby while arranging his official hat.

More than 20 yamen servants rushed in with weapons.

"mighty!"

Immediately, the atmosphere in the entire lobby became majestic.

The confused county magistrate sat on the high hall.

On the wall behind him, there is a plaque with "Mirror Hanging High".But the appearance of the county magistrate is really ridiculous, a bit like wearing a monkey's crown.

Snapped.

The confused county magistrate stared at the gavel and said, "Boy, you are the new county magistrate? You deceived people to come to Guobei County. It is unreasonable and daring. You know, my county The order was bought from the magistrate for 3000 taels of silver. What is your intention in coming to the county government? I think you should hand over 100 taels of silver first. Otherwise, you will be punished."

The master stood beside the confused county magistrate, and reminded in a low voice: "Master, you can't publicize the fact that you spent money to buy an official. After all, this is not something glorious. Let others know, I'm afraid it will be looked down upon." you."

The confused county magistrate suddenly realized, and quickly said: "Yes, yes, yes. You can't just talk about buying an official."

Qin Zhiyong said with a smile: "It turns out that the county magistrate of your lord was bought with money. In fact, even if you didn't tell me, Qin would have seen it. With your lord's ability, you must not be qualified to be the magistrate of a county. The county magistrate Qin was not bought with money. This is an order from the imperial court, adults can take a look."

Qin Zhiyong took out the transfer order and threw it directly to the confused county magistrate.

Tiaoling seemed to be drawn by force, and flew in front of the county magistrate and master.

Master's pupils shrank.

Qin Zhiyong's move was not easy.

The master just saw Yan Chixia, the head arrester of the seventeen provinces, use similar tactics ten years ago.

However, Yan Chixia couldn't get used to officialdom, so she resigned early.

The way the master looked at Qin Zhiyong changed immediately.

The confused county magistrate still didn't understand the situation, so he opened the dispatch order and looked in shock, "It's the seal and signature of the governor? How could it be possible. The magistrate has allowed me to be the county magistrate in Guobei County for five years."

Five years is enough for a foolish county magistrate to earn tens of thousands of taels of silver.He only spent 3000 taels of silver to buy an official. He felt that he made a profit from this business.

But officialdom, after all, is not a real business.It is not that simple to secure the position of county magistrate.

The master said: "My lord, the governor is bigger than the magistrate."

The governor is the immediate boss of the magistrate.The order of the governor is more effective than the words of the magistrate.

The confused county magistrate was really panicked: "But, hasn't it been five years? I only made less than five hundred silver. I haven't earned back the money I bought the official. What should I do?" ?”

Qin Zhiyong said: "Up to now, you are still thinking about getting back the money you bought the official. Where did you put the governor and the court's laws and regulations? Come down quickly, take off your official uniform, and leave the county government office with your personal belongings." .Remember, you can only take away your personal belongings, and you can’t take away the more than 400 taels of silver that you used to make a profit.”

It stands to reason that the confused county magistrate who bought an official violated the laws of the court and should be sent to jail.But now that treacherous ministers are in power, the court's laws have long since become a dead letter.

If the court's laws were strictly followed, then [-]% of the people in Guobei County would be imprisoned.

Ceremony collapses and joy breaks down, and people's hearts are not old.It is about the current situation of the court.

When Qin Zhiyong came to Guobei County, he wanted to set the rules first and implement them.

Qin Zhiyong couldn't do the thing of punishing without teaching.

The confused county magistrate is just greedy for money, can't do things, and didn't kill the lives of the people, so the crime is not beyond death.Qin Zhiyong just sent him away from the county office.

The confused county magistrate was kicked out of the county office with his personal belongings.

He turned his head every three steps, looked at the county government reluctantly, and thought to himself: "Forget it, I can't stay in Guobei County. I'd better go back to my hometown first, find a way to get some money, and then go to other places to buy an official."

…………

Qin Zhiyong asked the masters and yamen servants to post the notices he wrote. Every street in the county should post them, and the towns outside the city are no exception.

Qin Zhiyong soaked the paper of the notice with a special potion, and then drew a spell on the back of the notice.

late at night.

In a small town south of the county seat, there were two monsters walking on the street.They are here to capture young and strong men and bring them back for the dryad's grandmother to absorb Yang Qi.

One of the monsters touched the posted notice, and saw the charm on the notice flashing white light.

Bang!
"Wow." The monster was injured by the huge force and spit out a mouthful of blood. His internal organs seemed to be burned, and the pain was unbearable.

"It's a spell drawn by a strong human race!" said the injured monster. "There are strong human beings in the town. Let's go back to Lanruo Temple first and tell grandma about the situation."
