Movie World I Am A King

Chapter 208: Liu Zhi County’s Decision

While Yue Luoli was practicing hard with Guan Guanqin...

In the hall behind the Wenxian county government office, there was a gloomy scene——

"Master magistrate, you have to be the master for the students..." Master Yue looked sad, and complained to Liu Fuyong, the county magistrate who was sitting in the chair and wearing a long robe and mandarin jacket: "The student is only this precious daughter, why do you let that The damned bandit has been taken away..."

"Hmm..." Liu Fuyong is nearly 60 years old. In the third year of Daoguang, he was admitted as a Jinshi in his fifties, and spent a few years in Beijing. A vassal of a seventh-rank county magistrate came to Wen County, originally thought that the sky would let the birds fly...

As a result, it has only just stopped for two years, and this kind of thing happened...

In his opinion, this Mr. Yue, who has a reputation as a scholar, is really ignorant. He actually let himself make the decision for him. How can he make the decision? Report to the Zhili Governor's Mansion and then request to send troops to wipe out the bandits? Then the magistrate above should ask...

Why are there no bandits in other places, but you have bandits here? Is it because the government forced the people to rebel? Did you take bribes and break the law?

How should he answer? Could it be that 16 said that a bandit passing by saw the beautiful scenery in Wen County, so he didn't plan to leave, so he stayed here permanently?

And even though the bandits attacked the city and killed all the Zixiangyong gang, except for the daughter of the Yue family who was taken away, the other wealthy households in the city did not suffer any losses...

Should I just cover it up, so as to save myself from being held accountable by the superior when I can, then I will bleed again. It is not easy for county magistrates to make some money these days... Liu Fuyong stroked his goatee, thinking to himself ...

Seeing the silent Liu Fuyong, Master Yue became impatient. Although he was not up to the mark, he was only admitted as a scholar, but not a Jinshi, but he had heard a lot about the officialdom from his old man. Seeing this In such a situation, how could Mr. Yue not know that his county magistrate wanted to cover up. "Master magistrate, don't forget that next year is a big plan... Your control of banditry is also a major item in the assessment!"

"That's right..." The Qing Dynasty stipulated that civilian officials would be assessed every three years by the Department of Officials Examination and Purification of Officials. The assessment of Beijing officials is called Jingcha, and the assessment of local officials is called Daji.

This assessment is related to the issue of whether it is up or down, Liu Fuyong does not dare to take it lightly, but he does not want to ask for help from the higher up... This is a little bit big.

At this time, Master Daobi beside him lowered his head and whispered in his ear: "Master, isn't there still a man named Wang Ergou alive in Xiangyong? Shall we ask about the situation first and then make plans?"

"Yes, call me that Wang Ergou!" Liu Fuyong was stunned, just listening to the old man of the Yue family talking to himself here, he almost lost his sense of control.

There is a yamen servant at the gate to look for Liu Ergou...

Not too long ago, two yamen servants escorted Wang Ergou to the living room. This is not a court, so naturally it doesn't need to be as formal as three mighty beeps...

"The little Wang Ergou kowtowed to Master Qingtian!" A guy who looked so unlucky came to the living room, he didn't even dare to lift his head, and bowed his head.

"Wang Ergou, tell me what happened at midnight last night, why are you the only one left alive out of the camp full of Xiangyong?" Liu Fuyong asked, holding up his tea bowl.

"Respond to the words of Master Qingtian!" Wang Ergou raised his head and said, "Last night, under the order of Yang Tuanlian, the little one was on the top of the city to check the night!"

Speaking of this, Wang Ergou seemed to think of the weird scene last night again, the flying monster, the four flaming hooves... his face suddenly seemed to see ghosts, and his whole body trembled non-stop: "A monster... that's a monster ..."

"The sky is bright and the sun is bright, where did the monster come from!" Liu Zhixian scolded.

"Speaking of which, Lord Magistrate, when the students were held hostage by the bandits, they also saw something strange about the war horse under the leader's crotch, but the students didn't find any other strange things except for the flaming hooves. !" The master of the Yue family also thought of the weirdness of Zhou Ye's nightmarish horse, but he didn't say anything strange, he never believed in the existence of ghosts and gods in this world...

Just think it was a trick of charlatans...

"No, that monster can fly...that monster can fly...hahaha!" Liu Ergou looked like a madman, with tears and snot pouring down his nose.

Liu Fuyong frowned, it seemed that this guy was crazy, and he couldn't ask any more questions. Shouting around: "Put him down..."

Liu Fuyong does not believe in the theory of ghosts and gods, or it should be said that few officials believe in ghosts and gods, because believing in ghosts and gods means that many unrighteous deeds will kill themselves, and it means that there are gods three feet above their heads, which means that they will not be able to do so in the future. more greedy...

How can this be? Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents, not to mention that there are no ghosts and gods, even if there are ghosts and gods, I am not afraid...

Of course, Liu Fuyong will not say these words, just think about it in your heart, it is a fool to say it...

But what Wang Ergou said made him a little difficult. After asking for a long time, asking a crazy person, he still didn't get any important clues.

At this moment, the master next to him whispered in his ear: "Master, the ghosts and gods belong to the ghosts and gods, and everything in the world can be decided by the master..."

"Huh?" Liu Fuyong didn't understand what his master meant, and turned his head to look at him.

"Ahem..." The master saw that his county magistrate didn't understand what he meant at all, and he stopped playing the game and said directly: "Master, you can't control the affairs of ghosts and gods, but isn't there a ghost on Qingyun Mountain next to our county?" Is it Qingyun Temple? They are under your rule, sir, I heard that each of them can subdue demons and eliminate demons..."

"Good idea!" Liu Zhixian patted his thigh, I can't control these nagging things, can I still not control you monks and priests? Besides, if it was really a matter of ghosts and gods, it would not be regarded as a bandit trouble if I ruled it, at most it would be regarded as a ghost, and it has nothing to do with my dime...

This matter must be classified as a ghost... Thinking of this, Liu Zhixian smiled and said to Master Yue: "Master Yue, please go back and wait for the news. I will send people to Qingyun Temple, and invite real people to come down the mountain to cast down demons and eliminate demons." !"

"It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous! Since the county magistrate refuses to ask the state government for help, then the students don't bother the magistrate!" How could the Yue family master not understand the magistrate's prevarication? In his opinion, this 163 The magistrate was completely fooling himself as a fool, he stood up with his sleeves and walked out...

"You... you..." Liu Zhixian couldn't speak clearly when he was so angry with the attitude of the Yue family master. Get mad.

"My lord, this Yue family can't be offended!" The master comforted Liu Zhixian and said, "The Yue family has been officials for generations, and there are old disciples of his family everywhere in this capital, and his son is an errand in the Governor's Mansion in Baoding." ah……"

"Hey, it's just a small seventh-rank governor. My master, I'm half a rank higher than him!" Although Liu Zhixian said so, he knew what a seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister was, let alone the Yue family. So many old students...

It is better not to be offended or not to be offended, maybe sometimes they can't accomplish anything, but their ability to do bad things is definitely greater than their ability to accomplish things.

"What should we do now?" Liu Zhixian also asked his master worriedly.

"The only plan for now is to report the truth to the top. We must not let the Yue family boy report it earlier than us, or we will be passive!" The master came up with an idea: "You still have to go to Qingyun Mountain, be prepared!"

"Well, let's do as you say!" Liu Zhixian nodded, he has already hated the Yue family, and now he can no longer pass the handle to the Yue family, so that they have an excuse to attack him. Self-exposing his short story is better than the Yue family's exposure, and when the Yue family's exposure is revealed, at least one charge of deceiving the superior will not escape him...
