The way of heaven is constant and people are impermanent, so there is no ignorance.

"The Book of the Emperor - Ignorance"

"Qi Xia, money is needed to repair the county government and prison, how do you think the money should come from?" Sitting on the old chair, Li Xingmeng asked Qi Xia while eating snacks bought outside.

"At present, Zizhu's financial income is a bit tight, it will take at least two years to make a profit, and it will take at least five years to raise the money to repair the county government and prison. "Qi Xia has been dealing with the finances and affairs of the county government these days, Li Xingmeng is too lazy to take care of things, often just gives an order to Qi Xia, and then directly looks at the results.

"Five years?" Li Xingmeng frowned, a little dissatisfied.

Immediately, Li Xingmeng asked again: "What if I want money now?"

Qi Xia thought that Li Xingmeng was going to raise taxes, so she explained: "The people in this county don't have much oil and water anymore, and the effect of tax increases is not very great, but it is easy to cause civil unrest." ”

However, Li Xingmeng smiled and said: "The people don't have oil and water, but those old men in Zigui have a lot of oil and water." ”

"I'm afraid those lords won't donate money. Qi Xia reminded.

"Send out an invitation, I, Li Xingmeng, will hold an inauguration banquet in the county government and invite the powerful and rich people of the entire Zizhuo. Li Xingmeng gave an order.

"Is the chief going to force them to donate money at the banquet? They won't necessarily come. Qi Xia reminded again.

"No, I'm just trying to tell who is an enemy and who is a friend. As Li Xingmeng spoke, he took out a handkerchief to wipe the grease on his hands, and there was still a little food residue at the corner of his mouth.

------------

The banquet was held as scheduled, and due to limited money, the scale was very small, but fortunately, there were not many people who came to the banquet, so there was no joke.

Big people like Master Huang will definitely not come, and they are all small rich businessmen, small landlords, and small gentry who come from Zigui.

At the banquet, Li Xingmeng, who didn't like to drink water, replaced wine with tea, and a group of small gentry blew cowhides on the wine table and patted Li Xingmeng's ass.

------------

In a small garden in the backyard, Qi Xia is cheating with Master Huang's son.

"Xia, your skills are too good, I can't stand it. Master Huang's son hugged Qi Xia and kissed and gnawed, as if he had met a delicacy.

"You dead ghost, look for me at this time, what if the girl surnamed Li finds out. Qi Xia raised her head and gasped.

"Hey, that girl surnamed Li offended my father, do you think she can stay in Zigui for a few days, she thinks that this banquet can take the opportunity to win over those little gentry, but those little gentry have long been from our Huang family, this time it's just pretending to be on my father's order, okay, let's not talk about this, let's get straight to the point." Huang Gongzi finally couldn't help it, stripped off Qi Xia's clothes and began to do unsightly things.

------------

The next day, Master Huang's dog came to the county government and asked: "Two days ago, the chief found my young lady and asked the chief to explain why my young lady became the same person and ghost. ”

Li Xingmeng replied lazily: "When I found your young lady, she had already become like that, and she had to use special words to make her act, as for why she became like that, I don't know." ”

"Sir is really joking, how do you know this?" the Huang family servant sneered.

Li Xingmeng snorted coldly and scolded: "You are just a slave of Master Huang, you are not qualified to question me, get out!" Li Xingmeng also knew at this time that he was hot-headed and not meticulous enough, and he only wanted to be angry with Master Huang, and now he really doesn't know how to pass this matter.

"Since the chief doesn't want to admit it, please explain why he hurt people on horseback. The servants of the Huang family shouted loudly in front of the people who gathered around to watch the play.

"What kind of horseback hurts, don't mess ....... Before Li Xingmeng's words were finished, a village woman came to the county government with a dead baby girl to cry.

The servant of the Huang family said comfortingly to the village woman: "Auntie, don't be sad, everyone is here, the eyes of the masses are bright, we will call the shots for you, how did your child die." ”

The village woman pretended to be afraid of Li Xingmeng's expression and said timidly: "Yes...... Be...... It's her, that day she rode a horse in the field and trampled on my family's grain, my husband couldn't be angry, so he reasoned with it, but was killed by her sword, I went to collect my husband's body, my newborn trouble was left on the ridge by me, I didn't expect her to ride a horse directly and trample on my family's trouble, woo woo!"

(In fact, this village woman poisoned her husband in order to have an affair with the slave of the Huang family, and because of her preference for sons, she strangled her newborn daughter.) ）

"I'm so angry, you dare to talk nonsense. Li Xingmeng was so angry that he even ate only half of his favorite osmanthus cake and threw it away, drawing his sword to kill the village woman who framed him.

However, several strong men of the Huang family blocked Li Xingmeng's attack with machetes, and shouted: "Li Xingmeng, one person does things and one person does everything, do you want to kill people and kill people?"

This is said to be righteous, and Li Xingmeng was speechless.

The onlookers cursed one after another: "It is intolerable that such a good-looking mushroom Liang actually did such a heartbreaking thing." ”

"Dog officer, get out of Zigui County. ”

Looking at the people who cursed him, Li Xingmeng didn't bother to explain at all, but scolded in a low voice: "Untouchables are untouchables, they don't have any wisdom at all, no wonder they can only be obediently enslaved by Master Huang for so many years." ”

"Please give an explanation to our Huang family, an explanation to this eldest lady, and an explanation to the people of the whole city. "The servants of the Huang family are pressing step by step.

"I have witnesses to prove that I absolutely did not do these things, I was in the county government at the time, and I never went out. Li Xingmeng clenched his fists and said angrily.

Immediately, Qi Xia walked in, and when she saw Qi Xia, the people scolded one after another: "They are in a gang, and they will definitely commit perjury." ”

Hearing this, Li Xingmeng pointed at the people and scolded: "A group of mud-legged people, shut up for me, who am I looking for as a witness, what do you have to do?"

The people still wanted to curse, but the slave of the Huang family said loudly: "Everyone be quiet, it doesn't hurt for us to listen for the time being." ”

"Qi Xia, tell those fools what the truth is. Li Xingmeng said eagerly.

Qi Xia glanced at Li Xingmeng, and then sighed lamentingly: "Sir, what you did is really disappointing, how can I, Qi Xia, bear not to tell the truth?"

"Ahh

I saw that Qi Xia said to everyone: "It was Li Xingmeng who trained Miss Huang into that person, who is not a ghost or a ghost, and it was she who killed the eldest mother's husband and baby girl." ”

After saying this, Qi Xia also cried bitterly and added: "I should have told the truth earlier, but Li Xingmeng is my boss, I don't dare to say it, now, I have learned from the pain and decided to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, expose the truth, and return Zi Gui to a bright future." ”

"Qi Xia, you betrayed me, damn it!" Li Xingmeng finally understood that this was a trap and was furious.

Li Xing dreamed of drawing his sword, but found that his arm was grabbed by several strong men of the Huang family, and he couldn't exert his strength.

"Die!" Li Xingmeng, who was in a hurry, directly exerted his Daoji ability, and the two strong men who grabbed Li Xingmeng's arms collapsed and died on the spot.

Taking advantage of the fact that everyone was stunned and at a loss, Li Xingmeng fled directly from the county office, after all, his Daoji ability can only be used once a day, and Li Xingmeng, who does not have Daoji ability, is just a little girl who knows a little bit of three-legged cat kung fu.
