"You are not lucky." Lin Xiqi sighed after hearing this.

"I have accepted my fate." Chen Changjie sighed, "But now, I have done something for my hometown's elders and fellow villagers."

Lin Xiqi nodded, and these yamen runners also said it.

Chen Changjie still found a way to benefit the people of Sandao County, but unfortunately he was humble and could not change much.

Lin Xiqi is quite optimistic about Chen Changjie, but he will not just listen to the one-sided words of these yamen runners. After he sent someone to investigate Chen Changjie's background, he may be able to entrust important tasks.

Lin Xiqi had no idea and no experience in his mind about governing a county. His mind was empty and he had nowhere to start.

I need someone like Chen Changjie to assist me.

While talking, another person came in outside, about the same age as Chen Changjie.

The man was covered in alcohol, had a messy hair, and a sword was hanging around his waist.

"This is Captain Wang Dong," Chen Changjie said hurriedly, "Captain Wang, this is the new magistrate, why don't you come here to salute?"

Wang Dong glanced at Lin Xiqi and said, "He is the new magistrate?"

Lin Xiqi's age surprised Wang Dong a little, he was too young.

"Don't be rude." Chen Changjie shouted softly.

"Old Chen, what's so polite?" Wang Dong glanced at Lin Xiqi and said lightly, "I haven't received the salary for a few months."

Seeing Chen Changjie staring at him, Wang Dongcai casually bowed to Lin Xiqi and said, "I have seen Wang Dong, have you seen... a noble surname?"

"I am the official's surname is Lin and his name is Fu." Lin Xiqi didn't care about Wang Dong's attitude.

He was a little surprised. He was originally going to replace the captain.

Now after seeing Wang Dong, he felt that he might have to think about it carefully.

Wang Dong looked a little disrespectful and irreconcilable, but he could notice that Wang Dong was not weak, at least at the end of the tiger list.

Such strength is just a mere county jail constable, which is obviously a bit strange.

Moreover, it is such a remote county, and it has not yet been worried about the monthly salary, so it is obviously not what a normal person should be.

Wang Dong hid his strength. If Lin Xiqi hadn't had good strength, most people would not be able to see through Wang Dong's strength.

"I have met Lord Lin." Wang Dong bowed.

Lin Xiqi nodded and said, "We have met today, and I know the salary I owe you."

"Sir, how many months can I post this time?" the yamen runner who was guarding the gate asked in anticipation.

When a new official takes office, he has to give himself some benefits to these elderly people.

Lin Xiqi glanced at him and said, "What's your name?"

"Little Ma San." Ma San said respectfully.

"In two days, I will pay you my salary by myself." Lin Xiqi said.

Hearing Lin Xiqi's words, the yamen runners present were delighted and hurriedly thanked.

Wang Dong looked at Lin Xiqi with some suspicion and said, "Sir, don't let go of everyone's pigeons. Every time he took office as a magistrate, he said he would send it and send it. In the end, what's wrong? Isn't it been so long?"

"Don't worry, I'm just a few hundred taels of what I say." Lin Xiqi said.

Under normal circumstances, yamen runners are only three taels of silver per person every month.

This money is nothing to Lin Xiqi.

"Then let's wait a few days." Wang Dong nodded.

"I'm talking about something," Lin Xiqi said, "If anyone of you doesn't want to stay in the county government now, you will be given a severance fee."

"Sir, how many are there?" Ma San asked.

"One person is worth 100 taels at a time." Lin Xiqi said.

The skills of these yamen runners are really average, and Lin Xiqi does not intend to use them again.

One hundred taels are equivalent to the income of a yamen runner for three years, and Lin Xiqi thinks it is enough.

The yamen runners couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Wang Dong.

When Lin Xiqi saw the reactions of these yamen runners, he understood in his heart. It seemed that these people were still following Wang Dong's leader.

"Depending on what I do, you decide for yourself." Wang Dong glared at the few people.

These yamen runners couldn't help but look back their eyes awkwardly.

"Mr. Wang, are you leaving?" Ma San asked.

"I'm too lazy to make trouble. Whether I give money or not, I'm not going to live like this?" Wang Dong said lightly.

"Then we stay, too." Ma San said, "What do you think?"

"Let's stay." The others nodded.

Lin Xiqi was really surprised. He felt that although he might not all of them would leave after he dismissed these yamen runners, most of them would be fine.

The yamen runners here are not comparable to those in other places, and there is not much oil or water to reap.

Lin Xiqi looked at Wang Dong with great meaning and said, "Okay, I will pay the owed silver in three days. Before that, you should do your own thing. I don't want to see anyone sleeping during the day of duty again."

This is what Ma San said, and Ma San said with a little embarrassed look on his face: "Yes, I don't dare."

"Don't blame the past for the past." Lin Xiqi said, "Mr. Chen, you will make some rules carefully next. Without rules, you will not be able to make a square basis."

"Yes, actually, there are all these, but no one obeyed them before." Chen Changjie said.

"I'll talk about it in three days." Lin Xiqi said.

After the dispersion, Lin Xiqi contacted Du Fuchong. Now Sandao County is almost his territory, and there are still some suspicious people.

Lin Xiqi asked him to check some of the matters about Wang Dong and Chen Changjie, especially those about Wang Dong.

On the third day, Lin Xiqi received news about the two people that Du Fuchong had investigated.

Chen Changjie's affairs were not very different from what he knew.

And there is much less news about Wang Dong.

According to Du Fuchong's news, Wang Dong was transferred from another place ten years ago, and it is said that he offended someone.

There is not enough time to find out the specific matters, and Du Fuchong cannot find it.

Du Fuchong also mentioned specially that Wang Dong's previous identity should be related to the secret spies of the court, but it is not yet confirmed.

"It seems that it is necessary to talk to Wang Dong." Lin Xiqi thought to himself.

So before summoning everyone, Lin Xiqi found Wang Dong alone.

After Wang Dong came to Lin Xiqi's study, he asked with some confusion on his face: "Sir, what's the matter to find a low-ranking position?"

"Sit." Lin Xiqi smiled faintly, "I want to talk to Captain Wang about some things."

Wang Dong didn't know what Lin Xiqi was looking for him, so he stopped thinking about it.

After seeing Wang Dong sitting down on the chair, Lin Xiqi said, "Captain Wang is so incompetent here."

"Where is my sir?" Wang Dong said, "I will only do some duty to do my job."

Although Sandao County was dilapidated and had no major magistrates in charge, public security was pretty good.

There is still Wang Dong’s contribution, and of course Chen Changjie’s assistance.

"Can you tell me about your past?" Lin Xiqi asked lightly.

"There is no past for the humble profession? I have been here for almost ten years. I have been a captain for nearly ten years, and it has been like ten years." Wang Dong smiled and said.

"What about ten years ago?" Lin Xiqi asked again.
