The midday sun shone on the leaves on the roadside and fell to the ground through the cracks, and four people sat on a ground overgrown with weeds. A gentle breeze blows, and the rustling of leaves gives people a cool feeling.

It's August, but it's still hot. The summer in the north is dry and hot, and the sun is very hot, and the temperature drops down immediately when it comes to the shade of the trees.

Li Dongsheng came out and brought a lot of things. The first thing to bring is the flower water, when the weather is hot, the biggest source of disease is mosquitoes, the mosquitoes on the beach are large, the number is large, the black pressure is a piece, it looks very scary. With flower water, you can dispel mosquitoes, but the effect is not too good, Li Dongsheng is ready to find some medicinal materials when he arrives at the place to see if he can get a mosquito coil out.

Wang San stood in the shadow of the tree on the side of the avenue, although Wang San didn't say anything about the assassination last time, he still felt very guilty in his heart. Especially Li Dongsheng was so seriously injured that he can't fully lift his arm now. So he was very careful when he came out this time, and it was completely like a scout, and sometimes Li Dongsheng laughed at him when he was so careful. Wang San didn't pay attention to it at all, and still did his own thing.

There are also two people, one named Zhou Ning and the other Shang Cheng, both of whom were carefully selected by Li Jing for him, both of them were tall and burly, and they looked very good-looking. Now he is lazily lying on the grass, "Li joins the army, how many days will it take to arrive?" Now I can't see anyone. ”

"It should be soon, I've been walking for more than half a month." Li Dongsheng fanned the wind with a fan, now how much he misses the shorts of the future, in this era, he still has to wear a robe on such a hot day, and the wind does not leak at all, and he wants to stick his tongue out when it is hot.

"Join the army, we are all mainlanders, and we haven't seen the sea yet, they say that the sea is boundless, right?" Although Zhou Ning and the others are big, they are a little older than Li Dongsheng, and they have never traveled far, so they are very curious about everything.

"Yes, as far as the eye can see, it slowly turns from green to blue, and it makes people feel small at the sight of it."

"What is small and not insignificant, I don't know, what is delicious in the sea?" Shang Cheng is a big-bellied man, and he seems to be unable to eat enough every day. But the strength is very, very terrifying.

"The sea is full of treasures, and there is everything." Li Dongsheng thought of the seafood of later generations, and his saliva was about to come down, "Don't have too many fish and shrimp, I'll cook for you when I get to the place, I still have a hand in making seafood." ”

There was a conversation to pass the time, and the horse was fed some beans. There is no spirit in dancing a few high-headed horses, and it is not good to be tired after walking for so many days. Laizhou, which is today's Qingdao and Changyi, is more than 2,000 miles away from Chang'an, which is also very far away. However, Shandong has been a source of talents since ancient times, and the birthplace of Confucius is still good, much better than Hainan Island, Guangxi and other places. After walking for so many days, it should be almost there.

After a few more days, when we arrived at the Qingzhou Post House, everyone was finally able to rest and wash up. Send Wang San to Laizhou and Ye County to report, this is the rule, you must not say that you have any micro-service private interviews or anything like that, it's just a romance legend, if the official really does this, then he will lose his dignity and will be laughed at by people.

Waiting for Wang San to come back, Li Dongsheng left for Ye County. Along the way, they watched Wang San relay Li Dongsheng's location in a circular relay, and finally arrived near the city gate of Ye County in the afternoon.

A few people who saw the city tower from a distance were cold in their hearts. Li Dongsheng was ready to endure hardships, but he was still shocked by the short and badly damaged city tower in front of him.

Shang Cheng was also disappointed and said, "This is Ye County?" Or is it Shangxian, just like this? ”

Zhou Ning pouted, "It's not as good as the earth city on the grassland." ”

Li Dongsheng remembered Xu Wei's hometown: "What kind of place is this, it is so desolate." Li Dongsheng changed into an official robe, mounted his horse and walked towards the city gate.

There were many people waiting at the gate of the city, and Wang San had already informed them that the county magistrate was coming, and everyone from the county lieutenant to the officials below came to the gate to greet them. After receiving the seal letter from the ministry, the county magistrate carefully surveyed it, and then knelt down and said, "Welcome to the county commander." The black man knelt on the ground.

There are a lot of people at the gate of the city, Li Dongsheng observed it, it may be the place of state governance, and the people are still relatively spiritual. He waved his hand and said, "No courtesy, let's go into the city." ”

The county led the way in front, and the group entered the county seat in a mighty way. Walking through the dark doorway and arriving on the street, Li Dongsheng was not disappointed and still looked so poor. The master Bo introduced himself, "Lord Li, the subordinate official Gao Jian, is the chief Bo of this county. ”

took Li Dongsheng to the county office, and it was the same low and shabby, and it looked like two entrances. Looking at the gate that had fallen off color and the plaque that was in danger, Gao Jianqiang smiled and said, "My lord, forgive me, Ye County is relatively poor, just this condition." ”

When you enter the door, it is the court, that is, the place where the case is heard, but fortunately it is relatively clean, and it will be embarrassing if it is a layer of dust. Li Dongsheng walked to the back of the public desk in the lobby and sat down. The various Fang Gongcao and the officials who followed behind were all separated, and the county Gao Jian handed the roster to Li Dongsheng. Li Dongsheng was named according to the roster. Li Xianling appeared in front of everyone for the first time.

Ye County is a county, and there are still a lot of personnel, one of the three major county commanders and one county commander, that is, Gao Jian, and one county lieutenant, equivalent to the director of the public security bureau and the chief prosecutor, is a black and strong man, not a little official, but a bit of a farmer's feeling, called Peng Lian. Then there are the gongcao of various departments, they are all officials, but they are also registered in the official department, which is equivalent to the current career establishment. The total number of people is quite large, more than fifty people. Li Dongsheng is very suspicious that this county is so poor that it is eaten by so many people.

The roll call went very smoothly, no one jumped out without a long eye to give Li Dongsheng a little color, as for what they thought in their hearts, Li Dongsheng didn't care, just come here and have a good face.

After the roll call, Li Dongsheng asked them to go back to the department to work, and he went to the back under the leadership of Gao Jian, the place is not small, and there is a small garden, but the house is a little broken. Wang San and a few of them were cleaning up, Gao Jian said, "My lord, I will rest here in the future, if there is anything, just find a lower official, I came here a few years ago, and I am still familiar with the things here." ”

"Hmm." Li Dongsheng said with a smile, "Gao Xianyu, when we meet for the first time, there is a flower water here, you can use it first, and there are many things to ask you for in the future." ”

After sending Gao Xianyu away, Li Dongsheng looked at the empty room and sighed How could there be such a poor place.
