Suddenly, someone knocked on the door outside the small building, Ling Yun thought it was Wang Ma who came back from buying vegetables, but when he opened the door, he saw a person kneeling outside the door, dressed in the clothes of a servant, and said: "My lord, there is something wrong with the county government, Steward Zhang asks the adult to come to the county government quickly." ”

Steward Zhang? Ling Yun was stunned for a moment, remembering that Zhang Anguo, who came to deliver any car, helped with housework, and found a few officials according to his instructions, this official must also be newly recruited, no wonder he was embarrassed.

Leaving the two girls in the small building, Ling Yun took a black chess piece and told them to squeeze the chess piece to change color as soon as they were in danger.

Sitting on the small sedan chair brought by the officer, the sedan chair man followed the officer, trotted all the way, tired and panting, came to the county yamen, Lingyun got off the sedan chair, only to find that the county yamen outside the big difference in the past, on both sides of the road flags and exhibitions, each standing more than ten strong soldiers, Zhang Anguo stood in front of the county yamen.

Ling Yunxin said: "This Zhang Anguo can do things, work hard for a few days, give him so much silver, and recruit so many decent soldiers, he is a talent." ”

When Zhang Anguo saw Ling Yun, he hurriedly came to his side, knelt down and saluted, "My lord, the prefect is waiting for you in the hall." ”

Ling Yun was surprised: "What prefect?"

"Ah, my lord, you don't know, a few days ago, Xianmen Mansion quickly reported that the newly appointed Xianmen prefect was going to come to Jingnan County today to observe the situation, but unexpectedly, you didn't personally go out of the city to greet you, nor did you send someone to greet your boss, and you didn't even have a reception when you came to the county government, and you didn't even eat when you were hungry early in the morning, and you were furious, saying that you were going to dismiss your official. Zhang Anguo said in a panic, he had just hired more than a dozen officials, all of whom were his acquaintances, for fear that Ling Yun would lose his official position, and the new officials would not admit the old accounts when they took office, and there would be nowhere to reimburse this large amount of salary expenses.

When Ling Yun heard that it was the newly appointed prefect of Xianmen, he relieved himself and confirmed again: "The newly appointed prefect has never been to Jingnan County, right?"

"I've only been in office for half a month, so of course I've never been here. Zhang Anguo didn't know how this old man had forgotten everything.

"They came hungry, and this prefect is hard. Ling Yun said nonchalantly.

"The little one has already arranged for the Drunken Immortal House to send it early, and the prefect has eaten early, so he shouldn't be so angry. Zhang Anguo added, "The little one was almost beheaded just now, if it weren't for the prefect who needed to rely on the small one to find the adult, I'm afraid he would have been in a different place by now." ”

Ling Yun said: "Hey, this prefect is so powerful!"

Zhang Anguo wiped his sweat and said, "My lord, be careful, go in and make amends to the prefect, maybe for the sake of this thing, I won't pursue it." He made a gesture for money.

Ling Yunhun didn't care and said, "I know it in my heart." "Strode into the county office.

The prefect has long heard that the morning tea in Jingnan County is a must, and he heard that the beautiful prostitutes of Wanxian Lou are also famous, different from Xianmen Mansion, with the halo where the government is located, but there is no place to enjoy it, so he rushed to Jingnan County early in the morning, took eight sedan chairs to Jingnan County, and thought that Jingnan County Order was like the rumored will do things, that Wang Sancheng is thoughtful up and down, and there is a skill in scavenging the land, not only the county is famous, even the court has no shortage of objects of his filial piety, otherwise there will be only four seven-grade county orders in the world, he is considered one, and the other county orders are all eight or nine products, even the emperor has heard his name, thinking that he is a good official with a good reputation。

I didn't expect to come to the gate of Jingnan County, only to see the city guards who were napping, not even a figure, not to mention the scene of Guo Xiangying, as a subordinate county commander, the prefect was angry, and almost entered the city in anger, fortunately, the master on the side persuaded: "My lord, maybe Lao Wang has carefully prepared this yellow and white thing for you, and there are first-class banquet beauties, so it's too late to go out of the city to greet you." ”

The prefect suppressed his anger and continued to enter the city, after all, there were more important things to do in Jingnan County this time, and he couldn't abolish the business because of this. When I arrived at the county office, the gate was closed, there was no one, the prefect was completely angry, scolded the ancestors of Wang Sancheng for eight generations, ordered people to split the gate, and came to the county office, which was in tatters, the roof was rotten with a big hole, and the courtyard was full of yellow juice, like a urine pit, dirty.

The prefect covered his nose and scolded angrily: "If the three cities of this king don't go out of the city, forget it, if you don't come to the county government to greet the mansion, I think he must be dead, if he doesn't die, the mansion must have cut off his head." "The prefect disregarded his identity, condescended to the noble, came to the backyard with a few entourages, kicked the door into the house, rummaged through the cabinets, and found nothing, neither people nor money were found, and the prefect directly committed the act of a thief.

Not long after, Zhang Anguo came to the county government with a group of newly recruited officials, and found that there were soldiers guarding the county government inside and outside, which was very strange, and asked a leader, only to understand that the prefect had arrived.

Zhang Anguo was shocked, and just wanted to slip away, he was carried to meet the prefect.

The prefect sat on the high platform, extremely angry, and shouted: "Where did Wang Sancheng die?"

Zhang Anguo stammered: "Big ...... Adults, small ones don't know wow. ”

"Hmph, I don't know, then pull it out and cut it! Execute by military law!" the prefect threw down an arrow.

Seeing the soldiers coming left and right to hold him, Zhang Anguo shouted: "Spare your life, my lord, the little one knows that Wang Xianling may have gone to a place!"

The prefect said hatefully: "You can find it within a stick of incense, and if you can't see anyone after the incense is burned, you can go to see the king of Hades." ”

Zhang Anguo remembered that moment of life and death, he still broke out in a cold sweat, and his heart was really like a companion to the tiger, and this errand almost lost his life.

Ling Yun walked into the county office, and the soldiers on both sides were holding knives and axes, solemn and cold, as if he would be chopped into meat paste at the first order.

Ling Yun looked up and saw an old man in official uniform in the hall, knowing that this was the prefect who was blowing his beard and glaring, he was amused in his heart, and came to the hall in a few steps, gave a salute, and said, "The lower official sees the lord." ”

The prefect's eyes were on fire, and he said angrily: "You still dare to call yourself a subordinate official? Immediately you will lose your life, and you still want to keep this black gauze hat? Do you know how much of a crime you have committed today!"

"I don't know. Ling Yun said calmly.

"I don't know, you despise the royal law, disrespect your superiors, waste government affairs, bully the people, bend the law for bribes, go against the law, and commit great crimes!" the prefect spoke very fluently.

Ling Yun smiled slightly, and said: "My lord, but I don't know what is the evidence for these crimes? Say that I despise the royal law, which royal law do I despise? Disrespect the superiors, but the lower officials don't know that the adults are coming, and those who don't know are not guilty, how can it be counted? As for the latter ones, which people did I bully, which government affairs were abandoned by me, and the adults in my backyard and front yard searched arbitrarily, but there was a penny of embezzled money? In this case, where did the crime come from?"

The prefect was stunned by his question for a while, and just now he searched the front yard of the backyard of the county government, and there was indeed nothing, since there was no money, how to talk about corruption and bending the law.

"Hmph, if this government wants to punish you for your crimes, do you need evidence? The words of this government are evidence, you are corrupt and pervert the law, and any of the people in Jingnan will be brought in, I am afraid they will know. "The prefect is strong.

"Oh, it turns out that rumors can also be convicted, then I heard the people of Jingnan say that the newly appointed prefect has transgressed the etiquette system, the house is bigger than the emperor's palace and the palace of the emperor, and the regulations on travel are more luxurious than the dragon chariot, can it also be used to convict the adult?" Ling Yun asked rhetorically.

"This ...... This is all your nonsense!" The prefect oozed beads of sweat on his forehead, and his ass began to sit on pins and needles, he knew that this kind of impeachment was handed to the emperor, even if it was all fabricated and framed, it would inevitably accept a layer of investigation with a layer of skin off, and it would leave a very bad impression in the emperor's heart, and he couldn't help but get nervous.
