Chapter 2: "Thinness"
The yamen in Qinzhou is surprisingly quiet today, and from afar, you can see the little catchers standing in a straight row, one by one, holding their heads high, and they don't even dare to squeak.
You must know that in the past, the yamen was full of melon seed shells, and from time to time there were people rubbing two circles of mahjong, as if it was a treasure place for gathering people to gamble; but today, not only was the front hall cleaned, but it was spotless inside and out, and the officials were dressed solemnly, and they almost shouted "mighty" twice.
"Hey, hey, it turned out to be Lord Ye, the lower officials have lost their welcome, they have lost their welcome...... "The master has been smiling, and the meat on his face can be squeezed together, "Why did you come so soon, didn't you say that it will be until next month......"
Ye Chi looked at the person in front of him, and it was true that he wasn't very angry, but he felt a little helpless. Qinzhou has been stocked by the imperial court for many years, and he can probably expect that from the appearance of the previous state pastor when he came back after losing his heart, he seemed to see his future career.
The little catchers knew that they were in trouble, and they didn't dare to speak, so they looked at the master one after another, hoping that he could resolve this contradiction with clever words......
While they were sad and indignant, they caught a glimpse of a person sitting next to the coffee table on one side, it was Yutai Kaoru who had not moved since the beginning, wearing a red dress that was bright as fire, and it seemed particularly discordant in this yamen, and he was staring at Ye Chi for a moment.
She was still frowning.
It turned out that this person was the new state pastor.
The previous state pastor was a scholar, very shabby, nearly fifty years old, he had never even entered the door of the palace test, and he didn't have any kung fu at all, and he couldn't stand the fright, and he went crazy after not long.
Yesterday, she met the person in front of her, and she is also a person with no martial arts, not only is she very young, but she also looks like a good gentleman, and it is estimated that this position is ...... You can't sit for long.
Ye Chi sighed, handed the official seal back to Changsu for him to put it away, and said: "The gangsters in Qinzhou are rampant, you don't solve it but still fight with them so happily, do you have a little consciousness of being an official?"
One of the little catchers quickly puffed out his chest, raised his eyebrows proudly, and said righteously: "We have worked hard to hone our dry fighting skills, and we have only lost six times in one hundred and eight battles!"
After speaking, everyone applauded in unison.
"......" Ye Chi's heart hurt a little.
He was silent for a long time, as if he was comforting himself, and then Shaoqing said: "Even if it is a gangster, it is impossible to fight for no reason, here in Qinzhou...... What's the contradiction?"
At the mention of this incident, Xiao Zhukuai's expression was displeased: "It's not that they fight every day after they draw the territory......?
He didn't say any more, and cautiously glanced at Kaoru Yutai, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little weird.
Ye Chi was a little puzzled, but saw that Kaoru Yutai suddenly stood up from the chair, the fist glove on his hand wrapped around the joints, only his slender fingers were exposed, and he said coldly: "Because of me." ”
She slowly walked up to Ye Chi, looked him up and down, and continued: "I became Shangzhou Cheng a year ago, but those gang members think that it is taboo for women to be officials, and since then they have refused to listen to the yamen, and we have no choice but to suppress it by force." ”
Her voice is relatively low, her words are clear and fast, there is little expression on her face, and her gestures are more like a man, giving people the feeling that she is just like her agile skills, crisp and very neat.
In this place of Qinzhou, it is not feasible to use the capital, the imperial court has always turned a blind eye to this place, and there is nothing to do in such a small place, except for him, the newly appointed state pastor.
Kaoru Tai stared down at him, leaned up in the frightened eyes of everyone, stared at him face to face, and suddenly asked, "Do you know martial arts?"
Ye Chi was taken aback by her actions, and thought of the kiss before, and the roots of his ears were inexplicably red. At first, he thought she was shy and ran away, but later found that she didn't care about it at all, as a girl, she didn't realize that her innocence had been shaken, and even this group of people was more anxious than her.
"No, it won't. He tried to keep his composure and shook his head.
Kaoru Yutai nodded, as if he had expected this answer, glanced at him meaningfully, and said lukewarmly: "In this place, you can't survive without learning some self-defense techniques." ”
With that, she turned and walked away, her skirt slightly raised like a blooming flower, and she strode out of the house, and her dashing demeanor really did not look like a woman who was only sixteen years old.
The little catchers stood even straighter.
***
Four years ago, in the first month of the year, Kaoru Yutai stepped into the yamen for the first time. At that time, she was only 12 years old, and she decided to help her mother, but within a few days, she ended up with a village outside the city, and later swept through the three alleys of West Street, which was terrifying.
Everyone was terrified.
She was born beautiful, her facial features are so delicate that they seem to be carved out of jade, she always likes to wear a big red shirt, and her figure is slender, which is unforgettable at a glance.
The owner of the cottage was so hiccuped back then, how could she think that such a cute female doll would be harmful to people, so pleasing it really makes people want to hug it...... Then his front teeth were knocked off with a punch.
Weiguo is one of the big countries, and the rest of the state capitals are very harmonious, but there are many gangsters in Qinzhou. The group of people on East Street, if they had not yet joined any gang when they reached adulthood, were destined to be ridiculed, and a group of people who had looked down on women since her mother's time had a very strong opinion about the seat of the state princess being seated by a woman, and even more unscrupulous in her generation.
Sooner or later......
Tantai Xun clenched her fists slightly, and suddenly heard someone calling her, and when she turned her head, she realized that it was Master Zheng who followed, and said with a bitter face: "Lord Tantai, the lower officials have finally found you, after Lord Ye finished talking to you, the whole person is a little wrong, did you hurt others?"
Kaoru Tai thought about it, and didn't understand how she hurt Ye Chi without punching or kicking, and it took a long time to have an epiphany: "Does he think I laugh at him for not knowing martial arts?"
Master Zheng nodded and shook his head again.
Ye Chi on the other side of the yamen, the roots of his ears have been red for almost half an hour, and others can't notice it, but they can't escape his fiery eyes. When someone said a word, he blushed with anger, why is this state pastor so careful?
"It's not good that Lord Ye's new official takes office, and the relationship is stiff, why don't you stammer him?"
"How?"
The master was stopped by her, thought for a while, and pointed to the wine cellar opposite: "Or...... Buy some wine and send it to him?"
Kaoru Tantai thought about it, and seemed to think that it was a good idea, so she touched it in her pocket and frowned.
"I ...... If you don't have enough money, can you not send it?"
“……”
***
At the same moment, Ye Chi, who was squatting on the ground to clean up the file, sneezed loudly, and then was very melancholy.
Kaoru Yutai is still a manager in the end, and the usual official documents are dealt with in a timely manner, but the files after that are left alone. The little officials were even more simply than her, so they were all piled up in one room, and the door was sealed well, and they were absolutely not opened if they had nothing to do.
Removed...... Remove him from his post all of them!
Ye Chi sighed, looked at the mountains of dossiers in front of him, came to clean up with a pen and paper, and suddenly heard that the door behind him was opened, thinking that Changsu had sent something, until he was pulled up by the neck, and he didn't see the girl in red standing in front of him.
"Here you go. ”
Kaoru Yutai was still expressionless, but he handed him a pot of wine in his hand, and seeing that he was delayed, he impatiently sent it forward: "This is very expensive." ”
Ye Chimu took the wine jug, and was about to say that he didn't actually drink much, when Huo Ran realized...... She's here to apologize?
He smiled gently, his face calm and handsome: "Don't take it to heart. Actually, you're doing a good job, if you can be a little more disciplined......"
Kaoru Yutai didn't listen, felt very troublesome, and was about to turn around and leave, but there was an urgent report from the yamen, saying that there was a business trip when rebuilding the house on the side of East Street, and several innocent people were involved, and now they are being pressed under the wood and can't get out, and the situation is very serious.
Fights in the market are fine, but whether it is the gang or the people, there is an unwritten rule that no ordinary people can be involved.
I don't know who broke the rules.,Kaoru Yutai was a little angry.,As soon as I arrived, I saw a lot of wooden stakes that were all over the place.,I could vaguely hear the cry on the other side.,Probably someone was really trapped inside.。
She rushed over without thinking, but her arm was suddenly tugged, and when she turned her head, it was Ye Chi standing behind her, shaking her head and signaling her not to go over: "Do you want to carry such a heavy thing by yourself?"
"Let go, I can move. ”
There was a rare wavering in her eyes, and she seemed to be a little annoyed, but Ye Chi never let go. No matter how much she could fight, her arms were still very thin, and she probably dislocated herself before she could lift those beams.
How can a girl be so strong......
He was thinking about how to dissuade her, but Kaoru Tantai had already broken free of his hand, walked closer, propped his hands under a beam, closed his eyes and lifted it hard, and in an instant lifted a one-foot-thick pillar out.
“……”
He thought she was terrible.
Ye Chi was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses, waved his hand to the people behind him, ordered the officials who came with him to deal with the scene, and also divided a group of people to disperse the crowd watching the excitement.
The people felt very unfamiliar with this new state pastor, and they only listened to the orders from the yamen as a joke, until the catchers really came to drive people away, and then left in a panic.
The matter was dealt with quickly. A total of eleven people were trapped below during the collapse, but fortunately, there were no casualties, all of them were rescued by Kaoru Tai, and the rest of the officials were basically just watching from the sidelines, looking like "it doesn't matter if there is Lord Cheng in our state", and they are only responsible for the treatment of the injured.
Kaoru Tai relaxed his arms, understood the general situation, and walked with Ye Chi when he returned to the yamen, and said to him: "Don't be so reckless in the future." ”
He is always very calm when he speaks, and he accepts reality very quickly, unlike the previous state pastor, who cried and cried, and wanted to die or live at every turn. A person with such a strong heart made her a little uncomfortable for a while.
She nodded in response, but suddenly saw Ye Chi falling in her direction, it turned out that a child playing accidentally bumped into him, and because the two were facing each other, he just planted straight towards her.
Kaoru Yutai stared, quickly grabbed his arm, and asked in a low voice, "Are you okay?"
Ye Chi barely stood still, because she leaned over, her chin rubbed against her hair, numb and itchy, and she was embarrassed, and the roots of her ears turned red at a visible speed.
Noticing his abnormality, Kaoru Tandai was puzzled, "What's wrong with you?"
Ye Chi immediately took a step back, and said after a while: "Do you remember yesterday......"
He paused for a long time, seemingly unable to speak. Kaoru Tai thought about it, and finally understood what he wanted to say, and his eyebrows were already a little impatient: "You mean, I accidentally kissed you yesterday?"
I didn't expect her to say it so bluntly, Ye Chi always felt that something was wrong, but he had to nod helplessly.
Kaoru Tantai looked at his handsome and soft face faintly, unhappy or angry, and finally understood that his ears were red not because of the master's so-called anger, but because he didn't know how to face the embarrassment.
Ye Chi knew that although she was bold, she was a woman after all, and she should make this matter clear sooner or later. The so-called men and women don't kiss, and they have to get along in the future, who knows, but she frowned slightly, and said calmly: "You are so troublesome." ”
“……”
He clutched his chest and felt like ...... Hit an arrow.
