Chapter 134
Lin Xiqi rubbed his head and said, "Isn't it for the sake of the senior brother?"
Seeing Renjiang wanting to knock on him again, Lin Xiqi hurriedly shouted: "Okay, okay, I won't say it anymore. I didn't expect that the Chiyan Sect would put the posture so low, which was really a world of difference from Liushamen."
"Liushamen has been too inflated recently," Ren Jiang said, "I have received support from the Seven Star Sect and have become a little unscrupulous."
Lin Xiqi nodded. Now Liushamen is gradually gaining the upper hand. The Chiyan Sect is almost suppressed in Dunhuang City, and other places are basically unable to reach.
There are too many people who take advantage of the situation, and the power of Liushamen has increased greatly.
"Senior Brother, hurry up and integrate the forces on the territory. As long as you have the chance, let Liushamen have a good drink." Lin Xiqi said.
He had no favoritism for Liushamen at all.
"You're eating and sleeping again. You're going to be lazy." Lin Xiqi returned to Sifang Inn, rubbed Xiaohu's head hard and said.
Xiaohu growled in a sleepy manner, turned over and continued to sleep.
In fact, Lin Xiqi knew that Xiaohu was not lazy at all, and it usually practiced in dreams at night.
If he uses the Dream Yan magic skill, Xiaohu will stay by his side and enter the dream.
Otherwise, it will also take the Dream Pill by itself and practice in the dream.
Four days later, Du Fuchong came to find Lin Xiqi, and he was holding a square wooden box in his hand.
"Is it done?" Lin Xiqi asked.
"Young Master, this is the official seal!" Du Fuchong handed the small wooden box to Lin Xiqi and said.
Lin Xiqi hurriedly looked at it and it turned out to be the official seal of the magistrate of Sandao County.
"So I am the magistrate of Sandao County?" Lin Xiqi still felt a little strange. He just became an official?
"Yes." Du Fuchong smiled and said, "The county magistrate's office is also dark enough. Later, the old slave spent a million taels to get it done."
Lin Xiqi frowned and said, "With so much more, what's the trouble?"
"Some people also want to get the position of magistrate." Du Fuchong said, "Later, the old slave asked. It was from Liushamen. They wanted to nail a nail in Sandao County."
"It's Liusha again." Lin Xiqi said lightly, "I didn't expect that the county magistrate's office would not give Liusha a face. Don't they know that Liusha has received the support of the Seven Star Sect?"
"It's not that the county magistrate's office does not give Liushamen face, but that the old slave bids much higher than Liushamen's one." Du Fuchong said.
Lin Xiqi nodded, still understanding in his heart.
The county magistrate's office is under the court, and even if Liushamen replaces the Chiyan Sect, he will not be able to do anything about the county magistrate's office.
As long as the county magistrate has money to make, no matter who it is.
"I will take office tomorrow." Lin Xiqi said.
"Do you need to arrange a man?" Du Fuchong asked.
"No need for now, I'll go and see the situation first." Lin Xiqi said.
The Sandao County Government Office is in Sandao City.
One day later, Lin Xiqi and Xiaohu appeared in Sandao County.
These three counties and counties are very dilapidated, and most of the city walls have collapsed and have not been repaired for many years.
Seeing this situation, Lin Xiqi still understood it in his heart.
Each magistrate usually takes five years. After five years, if there is no accident, you can be transferred to other places.
All the magistrates who come here to take office think that they can leave after five years, so they have no intention of repairing the city walls.
Especially the emperor is far away from the mountains of Dunhuang County, the power of the Seven Star Sect is very powerful. As the government, it is not very popular among the people in the martial arts world. These officials want to survive for five years safely.
Lin Xiqi asked for a while and then came to the county government office.
The county government office was also in pieces, and a yamen runner leaned against the gate and slept soundly.
"It's so bad." Lin Xiqi thought to himself, "Looking at the appearance of this yamen runner, this is definitely the same as usual."
Lin Xiqi stepped forward and kicked the yamen runner to wake up.
"Who? Who is looking for death?" The yamen runner was still a little confused. He was woken up by someone. Before he could kick him, he was in a very bad mood and couldn't help but shout.
After a while, he woke up and saw a boy standing in front of him.
Judging from the other person's clothes, he is not an ordinary person.
The yamen runner suppressed his temper and asked, "What's wrong with you? Alas, why did you trespass the county yamen..."
Before he could finish his words, Lin Xiqi entered the county government directly.
Soon he arrived at the county government lobby. Lin Xiqi was speechless when he looked at the dilapidated house.
"Go and call everyone from the county government. I want to give a lecture!" Lin Xiqi said lightly.
This yamen runner originally wanted to drive people away, but after hearing Lin Xiqi's words, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"You are~~You are the new magistrate?" The yamen runner reacted and asked.
Lin Xiqi general Yin Liangliang said, "Did you see it?"
The yamen runner nodded quickly and said, "You little one, go and call someone right away."
Although this adult is a little younger, the official seal should be real.
Even if you don’t know him, you can still tell the authenticity when Mr. Chen comes.
After a while, some people came in scatteredly.
Most of them were yamen runners, and there was only one scholar in his forties dressed up. He looked carefully at Lin Xiqi's official seal.
"I've seen the master!" The scholar bowed to Lin Xiqi and said, "This is confirmation that Lin Xiqi is the real magistrate."
"Are you the master here?" Lin Xiqi asked.
"Not counting, student Chen Changjie, a native of Sandao County." said the master, "Every county magistrate will take his master with him. The younger ones usually help with the affairs of the county government. It has been more than 20 years."
Lin Xiqi heard what he meant. Chen Changjie was not the magistrate, but a local.
And it has been here for more than 20 years, and it is obviously not taken seriously.
However, he is a local, and with more than 20 years of experience, he hopes to get some reuse.
Generally speaking, the presiding county magistrate would take his own master, but he would not bring anyone.
Perhaps this made Chen Changjie a little moved.
"Are you all here? Tell me about the situation in the county government?" Lin Xiqi asked while sitting on a chair.
"If you want to know the Lord, only Captain Wang Dong has not arrived yet," Chen Changjie said.
"Let's talk about the situation first." Lin Xiqi waved his hand.
He doesn't care about Captain Wang or Captain Zhang, and he will all replace them by then.
So, Chen Changjie reported to Lin Xiqi in the county government office.
In the county government, there are no other civil officials except Chen Changjie, and there are no county magistrates or chief clerks.
There are really not many people who come here to work.
There were twelve yamen runners, including the captain Wang Dong who did not come.
In normal counties, there are at least hundreds of yamen runners.
Some big counties may be more.
From Chen Changjie, he learned that the county had already owed the yamen runners' salary for more than half a year.
Here, the yamen runners had no money to make, and in the end most of them couldn't do it anymore and left one after another, leaving only a dozen yamen runners.
The people in the world outside are stronger than them and don’t pay attention to them at all.
The county magistrate just cares about his own benefits, and he is too lazy to pay attention to the others.
The arrears of salary are the affairs of the court, and it is impossible for the county magistrate to pay out of his own pocket.
The county magistrate raised a group of confidants to protect his safety at that time. As for these yamen runners, they let them die on their own.
"Mr. Chen must have made great achievements, right?" Lin Xiqi asked after hearing this.
"Journalist." Chen Changjie said.
"Master, Mr. Chen is a child prodigy from our Sandao County and even Liangzhou." A yamen runner shouted hurriedly.
"Nothing nonsense." Chen Changjie shouted.
"Tell me, I'm very interested." Lin Xiqi smiled.
The yamen runner told Lin Xiqi about Chen Changjie.
Chen Changjie was a scholar at the age of ten and a juren at the age of thirteen. He deserves the name of a child prodigy.
Unfortunately, he was not lucky. When he was fifteen years old, he offended the children of officials when he went to Beijing to take the exam, and was framed, and implicated in the cheating case in the exam room that year.
Later, there was no conclusive evidence, so there was no sentence.
But Chen Changjie was also banned from taking the exam throughout his life and finally had to return to his hometown. Later, he took a job in the county government for a living.
Except for the previous magistrates who have their own ranks, they will not really reuse a person with stains on them.
Even if there is no evidence in this matter, it will have a huge impact on Chen Changjie's life.
