Chapter 14: The Peculiar Yamen

I don't know how long I drank that day, I don't know how long the banquet lasted, but I know that the waiting coachman downstairs has slept three times, watching the sun gradually set in the western mountains, the night gradually falls, and the bright moon gradually rises overhead.

Seeing that the lights of the drunken incense building were getting cooler, I finally saw a few figures supporting each other and walking out with a smile, seeing these luxuriously dressed people, the coachman saw at a glance that the master from home was coming out, and hurriedly rushed out with an arrow step, grabbed Shen Xilin, who was drinking, and asked with concern: "Lord Duke, how do you feel?"

Shen Xilin was drunk, and while looking at the three Han Qi who were also very good, he laughed and said: "Very good, very good, city lord, the contemptible person has left for the time being, next time I have time to drink again, I will have a treat." ”

When Han Qi heard this, he hurriedly returned: "It must be, adults are careful in everything." ”

Seeing that the four of them seemed to be talking very happily, even if they had doubts in their hearts, the coachman had no choice but to carry his master back to the carriage, and while playing haha with Han Qi and the others, he drove straight to the yamen in the east of Los Angeles.

However, what the coachman didn't expect was that the next second they drove away, Han Qi and the three of them suddenly stared at each other, and their eyes were like knives, scraping fiercely in the direction where Shen Xilin and them were far away, and their cold eyes were full of thought.

On the other side, after Shen Xilin entered the carriage and sat down, he changed his confused eyes, where was he still half drunk, only looking at his firm gaze and disdainful expression, it was clearly more sober than when he went to Zuixianglou.

Seeing that the carriage gradually drove away from the drunken incense building, it only took a moment to come to the yamen. Shen Xilin only heard the coachman stop the carriage with a "call", and suddenly his body was like the wind, and he got off the carriage and stopped steadily in front of the main gate of the yamen.

"Lord Duke, are you drunk?"

Shen Xilin didn't care about the coachman's doubts and worries, and his mind only stayed on the peculiar yamen, and no matter what was inside the yamen of the official mansion, he just saw that the grums at the gate of the yamen were densely covered with vines and moss, and where there was still a little drum, it was obviously a tall vine group. Look at the gate of the yamen again, if the four words are used to describe this gate, I am afraid that they are insulted by the four words of shabby and unbearable, just look at the Shen Xilin gently pushed, only to hear the two sounds of "squeak" and "clatter", and the gate collapsed directly.

Seeing this, Shen Xilin couldn't help but smile bitterly, shook his head and sighed: "This official mansion is really peculiar." ”

Go further in, and then look at the government, where is still a mess, dirty and messy and other words can be described, no matter how deserted, it is a dignified official mansion, it is overgrown with weeds above the lobby, and the courtyard is full of broken tiles.

Seeing this, Shen Xilin sighed lightly again, suddenly frowned, looked up to the sky, and shouted angrily: "There is no one else, come out for me immediately, otherwise you will bear the consequences!"

As soon as these words came out, the coachman only felt that his ears seemed to be buried in a ** and suddenly exploded, only to blow up the driver felt dizzy for a while, and almost fell directly to the top-heavy, only to stand there for a long time and couldn't stand straight, so he had to find a nearby step to sit down.

As the words fell, a moment later, only a "creaking" sound was heard, and almost at the same time all the doors of the servants' dormitories were opened, and there were one, two, three, and four in the dormitory...... The four voices swayed and walked out, and before they could get to Shen Xilin, they knelt on the ground one after another, unable to stand up for a long time, and saw Shen Xilin smile slightly.

"You guys are really conscious, you knelt down consciously before I could speak. Shen Xilin said, regardless of the speechlessness on everyone's faces, he took out his own edict and held it high and preached, "King Yan's edict, make me the new duke, and fief Los Angeles." ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't stand up for a long time because of the roar just now, and after struggling for a while, they simply knelt like this, shouting: "Long live King Yan, long live the Duke." ”

Shen Xilin smiled when he saw this, and suddenly waved his big hand, and everyone instantly only felt a gust of breeze coming, and under the careful taste, it seemed to be a dead tree in spring, and several people instantly felt as if they were alive again, just now they all felt like the world was spinning, and now they feel as light as a swallow, for some reason, there is an illusion that they can take off flat.

Seeing that everyone's faces seemed to be better, Shen Xilin smiled again, glanced around at the people in the courtyard, and said, "It's much better now, let's talk about it, the brothers who brought me with me from Tianyue City are also together, let's introduce ourselves." ”

Everyone looked at each other when they heard this, but they still didn't speak after all, but the coachman just now took the lead and introduced: "Lord Huiduke, the villain's name is Wang Xiaohu, you can call me Xiaohu in the future." ”

The rest of the people in the yamen saw that the coachman had made an introduction first, looked at each other again, and finally relaxed their vigilance a little and spoke one by one.

"Villain Kenshin, meet the Duke. A man with two swords on his back and eyes as sharp and cold as swords and frost spoke.

"Villain Wu Qi, meet the Duke. A young man wearing a martial arts robe with an eight-foot judge's pen on his back spoke.

"Villain Liu Li, meet the Duke. A man with a spear on his back and old leather in earth gray spoke.

"Villain Fu Sheng, meet the Duke. A man holding a green jade flute with a peach blossom face and a cold face spoke.

Shen Xilin didn't say anything when he heard this, but quietly looked around the strange official mansion for a week, and finally shook his head again, and sighed: "Give you three hours to clean up the inside and outside of the official mansion, at least you must have the appearance of an official mansion, otherwise you will bear the consequences." ”

After that, Shen Xilin shook his head and sighed, put his hands behind his back, and walked straight out of the official mansion, just as the five people in the courtyard looked at each other, they only saw a few black shadows flying from outside the door one after another, only to hear a few bangs, and there were a few huge boxes in the middle of the five people. A few people opened the box curiously and couldn't help but be dumbfounded, only to see that there were all kinds of jewels and pills inside, and roughly counted, there were at least 300,000 taels of silver.

Looking up again, I saw Shen Xilin leaning against the gate, looking at everyone with a light smile, and said faintly: "This money is handed over to you, before dawn, I want to see that the government has the appearance of an official mansion, the broken repair, the bad repair, the messy tidying, is not clear?"

"Yes!"

Ordered to go down, just do it, the five people in the distance hurriedly cleaned up, the objects that should be purchased, and the repairs that should be repaired, and immediately took action, on the other hand, Shen Xilin looked at several people with a light smile, and couldn't tell whether they were happy or angry.

Having said that, as soon as the expert made a move, he knew if there was one, looking at the hands and feet of the five people and their speed, Shen Xilin couldn't help but smile slightly, obviously with a happy expression. Looking at those five people, with the gradual passage of time, it was only half an hour, and they actually cleared the weeds that almost covered the entire official mansion, and moved almost all the broken tiles in the mansion out of the mansion, and replaced them with gorgeous tiles, renovated floor tiles, and even the big drum in front of the door were clean and spotless.

Looking at the few people who were busy inside and out, and looking at Wu Qi, who was always in command in the courtyard, Shen Xilin smiled again and walked leisurely in the direction of Wu Qi. On the other hand, when Wu Qi saw Shen Xilin's arrival, he changed his thief-like expression, looked at Shen Xilin with a spring breeze on his face, and said with a respectful smile: "Lord Duke, look at what you think, do you need to move?"

Shen Xilin was stunned for a moment when he saw this, suddenly smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, don't do this, I just want to ask you something." ”

Hearing this, Wu Qi hurriedly saluted again and asked, "If the adults have any questions, you can ask them, and the villain must know everything and say everything." ”

Shen Xilin smiled when he heard this, and said, "No matter how you say it, it's also an official mansion, how can it be reduced to this?"

When Wu Qi heard this, he sighed softly, shook his head and said: "Since King Yan took over the fiefdom at the age of twelve, it can be said that the four seas have been peaceful in Shu for more than ten years, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, and Luocheng is naturally no exception, but since five years ago, everything has changed, not to mention that King Yan has been conscripting troops everywhere for many years, although it has also made other feudal kings only dare to look at Shu and dare not invade, in fact, all parts of Shu have been exhausted, so a harmonious and peaceful life is just a faΓ§ade, and King Yan has long ignored the livelihood of the people in Shu. ”

Don't say much, let's just say that this Los Angeles City, there are three mountain bandits outside, and there is a city lord chaotic power inside, and the five mayors of the Los Angeles region before and after are all insatiable, and each term is a joint city lord and the two major families to loot in the name of suppressing bandits, and the government has long been scattered, except for our first batch of people, there has long been no one. ”

When Shen Xilin heard this, he secretly said in his heart: "Hehe, sure enough, the banquet in the drunken incense building is a bit interesting." Thinking of this, the corners of Shen Xilin's mouth slightly hooked an arc, and said to Wu Qi with a light smile: "You guys take care of it quickly, sleep well after taking care of it, and go to a place with me tomorrow." ”

"Yes!"
