Happy Little Scholar

After the edict was announced, the two eunuchs who announced the edict with a gloomy face left. According to the past practice, for such things as conferring an official title, the person who received the edict would always prepare a small gift for them to express gratitude. However, looking at the current situation, this ignorant scholar did not resist the edict in person, which gave them enough face. Tianlai Novel

Over the years, there have been many noble hermits who refused to accept official positions. The emperor is wise and broad-minded, and has never convicted them for this, but after all, it is still a bit embarrassing.

Fortunately, I listened to the words of Her Royal Highness the Princess before, otherwise today's matter might not end well.

The man in official uniform also left. Li Yi heard him introduce himself as the county magistrate of this county and his immediate superior in the future. Thinking carefully, it seems that it is still the father of the young man who had an enemy with him...

He has offended his superior before taking office...

But these are not the most important things. Looking at the neatly folded official uniforms and the official seals on them, Li Yi's face began to lose consciousness again.

Did the emperor's brain get kicked by a donkey? He just copied an article... What kind of county lieutenant was he given!

It's really a sin. If I had known, why would I copy that article...

He never thought about joining the wave of building feudalism. When he made enough money in the future, he would go out for a trip when he was bored. Being a county lieutenant, he would be tied to Anxi County by managing trivial matters all day long.

Li Yi was in a heavy mood. He was inexplicably given an official position and was unhappy...

But others didn't think so.

Lao Fang, who got the news first, has not recovered until now.

County lieutenant, county lieutenant, how did the son-in-law become a county lieutenant!

A county lieutenant, if placed in the previous village, is equivalent to sitting in the top few chairs, the third and fourth heads of the family. In this way, it is already a high official that Lao Fang can hardly imagine.

Of course, in addition to Lao Fang, those who were still standing stupidly outside the door at this time were also confused.

Second Aunt had just returned from the chicken coop, and the eggs in her hand had already fallen to the ground and broken into pieces. She was always stingy, but she didn't notice it at all. She murmured in a trembling voice: "County Lieutenant, County Lieutenant... County Lieutenant..."

The faces of other direct descendants of the Liu family were also particularly interesting. Liuye Village started out as bandits. Since the village was built, it has gradually transitioned from bandits to ordinary farmers. There have been no scholars for decades. Suddenly, a county lieutenant appeared. Thinking that they would have to meet the county lieutenant in the future, they immediately became uneasy.

After thinking about certain things, many people became a little uneasy.

After all, he had snatched it back...

The weak scholar has now become the county lieutenant. Will he come back to settle accounts with them? Although they did not participate in that incident, it is hard to guarantee that he will not vent his anger on them...

When everyone was uneasy, the sound of whispering came into the yard, which made people upset for no reason. Li Yi waved to Lao Fang, feeling a little depressed, and said, "Close the door."

"Go away, go away..."

Lao Fang saw that the son-in-law was in a bad mood. He shouted a few times to the people outside the door, then closed the door and continued to look at Li Yi with an incomprehensible expression.

The son-in-law was given an official position by the emperor, which is a great thing, but looking at him like this, it seems that he was robbed of money.

Could it be that he thinks the official position he was given is too small?

The son-in-law was suddenly given a high position, and Xiaohuan was very happy, but seeing that the son-in-law seemed unhappy, she did not say anything, but she was happy in her heart.

The son-in-law became the county lieutenant, so Xiaohuan will be the county lieutenant's maid in the future?

"Husband, what is going on?"

After everyone left, the yard became quiet. Liu Ruyi looked at Li Yi, with a look of surprise on her pretty face.

Liu Ruyi also turned her head to look at him. How could a good weak scholar suddenly become a county lieutenant?

This change made her a little difficult to accept.

Can I still rob his things with peace of mind in the future?

"He must have been framed!" Li Yi said with a gritted teeth.

Lao Fang staggered.

If being framed can make him a county lieutenant, he will accept all the frames!

…………

In Ruyifang, Li Yi sat at the table, drinking alone, thinking about how to turn down the post of county lieutenant.

Passive slacking, embezzlement and bribery, and bending the law for personal gain?

If doing so can allow him to go home to farm, it is not a good idea, but if he goes to jail for this, it is not worth it.

After all, it was a feudal society, and human rights were not respected at all. If the emperor ordered someone to be an official, he had to be an official. Did he ask the person concerned for his opinion?

"I don't know when Li Xianwei plans to take office. The position of county lieutenant is extremely important and cannot be vacant for too long."

Just as Li Yi was racking his brains and thinking hard, a clear and pleasant voice came from outside the door. Li Yi looked at the female head constable walking in, stood up, glared at her, and asked: "Is it you? Did you do this?"

Li Yi thought about it and felt that even if the Emperor of Jingguo had a big brain hole, it was impossible for him to be appointed as a county lieutenant based on an article of "Disciples' Rules". If there was no one to interfere, he would not believe it even if he was beaten to death.

And this head constable Li, who had a deep background, was his main suspect.

"You said you wanted to be the county lieutenant. Why, I helped you, but you didn't say thank you, but blamed me instead." Li Mingzhu sat opposite him, took a wine glass, filled it with wine, and said lightly.

No denial, this is an admission.

"It's you!"

Thinking that it was her who pitted him, Li Yi was furious. This ungrateful person, who ate his own food and drank his own wine, turned out to be ungrateful in the end, didn't remember his kindness at all, and dug such a big pit for him to jump into...

After drinking a glass of wine, the female police officer frowned and said, "What kind of wine is this? It's as light as water. Where's the strong wine here? Take it out quickly!"

Li Yi pulled the wine pot to his side, snatched the wine glass from her hand, and looked at her with fiery eyes.

What the hell is she drinking? There's no wine, and she won't even give her water!

The female head constable was not angry at all. She folded her arms, looked at him, and said calmly: "Why, didn't you say you wanted to be a county lieutenant?"

"Who said I..."

Li Yi was speechless after saying only half a sentence. At this moment, a familiar scene emerged in his mind.

"What's the good of being a low-ranking school official? There is no rank, and being ordered around all day is meaningless... If you want to be an official, you should at least be a county magistrate, or at least a county lieutenant. What's the point of being a school official..."

"What's the point..."

"What..."

"What..."

The words he said to Li Mingzhu at that time echoed in his mind for a long time.

"Damn, I'm so mean..."

Li Yi sighed to the sky because his strength had pitted him.

"It's not that he was killed, it's that he killed himself..., if you don't ask for death, you won't die, the ancients really didn't lie to me!"
