Different from the inner hall of Weishi County, the inner hall of Zhongmu County is more like a gambling house. The bookcase originally used to handle official business and documents was covered with a white linen cloth, and some leaf cards were immediately stacked haphazardly.

Around the table sat four people, each with a few copper coins piled in front of them. It seems that the county commander has bad luck today, and the copper coin in front of him is the best among the four people here, and the head of the household department of Zhongmu County, who has been losing money in the past, has good luck today and has won a lot.

Seeing Yu Ba come in, the county commander scolded with a smile: "Old Ba, you bastard still know to come in, come on, you play for me for a while, my lord, I can't be lucky today, I lost a lot of money playing a leaf show." ”

Yu Ba smiled bitterly and said, "Master, the little one can't play now......"

Before he finished speaking, the county raised his eyebrows and said dissatisfiedly: "What, eight, you still have a long ability?" Master, I let you play, you dare not play? ”

Although he just laughed and scolded, Yu Ba quickly explained with a wry smile: "Master, there are guests in the yamen." ”

The county order was on the rise at this time, and when he heard Yu Ba's words, he said casually: "Come on, come here, it just so happens that our yamen is also a little deserted." In this way, you invite people in, and everyone plays this leaf show together, and it is lively. ”

Hearing the words of the county order, several people who played together coaxed: "Yes, yes, that's right." Eight, go and invite someone over. By the way, I'll call for a table of banquets, after all, it's a guest, and you have to entertain it well......"

"Guest, what guest? Who? After listening to others say "guest" a few times, the county order realized that something was wrong, this is the yamen, not his own private residence, where there will be any guests.

"It is said that it is the county of Weishi County, what is it called Li ...... Li Jiwen looks like he is thirty-five or sixteen years old, and his literary quality is polite, but he looks like a scholar. ”

Li Jiwen ...... Li Jiwen...... Li Jiwen ......" The county magistrate muttered Li Jiwen's name while searching his heart to recall things about Li Jiwen.

After thinking about it, he really remembered that there was such a person, patted his thigh, and said: "I remember, there is such a person, I went to visit Su Dong at the beginning of the year and had dinner with him." Speaking of which, the meal that day was good, and the mutton was very fragrant......

Yu Ba coughed a few times with some embarrassment, and finally called back the off-topic county order. "Although it's just a county minister, it's still a little bad for him to see this meeting, so let's ask him to go to the second hall, and I'll change my clothes."

Yu Ba responded, but did not move. As soon as the county commander saw Yu Ba's appearance, he knew that there must be something to say about this thing, so he said angrily: "What are those fools under your command doing stupidly?" ”

Yu Ba smiled awkwardly and explained: "The little ones didn't know Li Xiancheng's identity before, and they were a little out of proportion in their words, I'm afraid they were a little disrespectful......"

The county magistrate didn't ask what they said, waved his hand, and said casually: "As the saying goes, those who don't know are not to blame, and you don't know that he is a county minister, and he didn't come up and say that he is a county minister, right?" ”

"Yes, the little ones really didn't know that he was a county prince at first, but later they became much more polite after hearing that he was a county minister."

"Then it's no problem, okay, you hurry up and invite people to the second hall, and I'll go over in a while, master."

Yu Ba answered and walked out quickly. However, he did not go directly out of the yamen to invite Li Jiwen, but first found a few people to clean up the second hall......

Just when everyone in Zhongmu County was busy cleaning up, Dr. Lu and Li Jiwen outside couldn't help muttering in their hearts: "What's going on, why hasn't anyone come out to reply for a long time." ”

Li Jiwen was really a little annoyed by waiting, and couldn't help but order: "You go up and call the door and see what's going on?" ”

Since ancient times, there has been no reason to call the door at the door of the Yaya, but since Li Jiwen ordered it, Dr. Lu could only walk towards the gate with a bitter face.

He walked slowly enough, and the people in Zhongmu County cleaned up fast enough, just when Dr. Lu was about to knock on the door, the door creaked open, and more than a dozen unscrupulous people came out, as much spirit as possible. Compared to the appearance of the ruffian in front, it was as if a group of people had changed.

Doctor Lu was stunned for a moment, and Yu Ba had already walked in front of Li Jiwen with someone, and said respectfully: "Let Li Xiancheng wait for a long time, my family is not well involved in official business, please enter the second hall and sit for a while." ”

Li Jiwen is a person who has seen strong winds and waves after all, and he is not too surprised by the change with bad people. He nodded a little reservedly, then raised his head and ordered, "Lead the way in front of the head." ”

This scene made Dr. Lu stunned, and he was stunned for a while before he followed into Zhongmu County under the reminder of the bad people.

After Li Jiwen sat down, Yu Ba said again: "Li Xiancheng will sit down for a while, and the adults will come immediately." ”

"It's not in the way, it's also because the official took the liberty to visit."

"But I don't know why Li County Cheng came to my county? If it's a small emergency, let's spread it? ”

Li Jiwen thought about it for a while, his affairs were not so urgent, and the bad people in the yamen were always well-informed. Since you can't see the adult right now, why don't you ask this bad person first.

After listening to Li Jiwen's words, Yu Ba's face changed, and he whispered solemnly: "Where did you get the news of your lord?" ”

Li Jiwen "groaned" in his heart, thinking that this thing had changed again? smiled mysteriously at the moment, and just whispered: "So, is this thing true?" ”

Yu Ba hesitated for a moment and nodded imperceptibly.

Seeing Yu Ba nodding, the big stone in Li Jiwen's heart really fell to the ground. Although swine fever is not a good thing, it is better to know that this thing is true than to go up and down in your heart.

didn't let Li Jiwen wait for a long time, and only a while after Yu Ba went out, the county order of Zhongmu County came. The county order lost a lot of money because of the leaf drama just now, and he was not in a very good mood at this time.

Just a few simple polite words with Li Jiwen and went straight to the point, and when he heard Li Jiwen ask about swine fever, the county order thought for a while before he remembered that a few days ago he heard someone say that there was such a thing. But he didn't care at the time, as for the scale of swine fever and the impact of it, he didn't know.

After prevaricating a few words, Zhongmu's county order sent Li Jiwen out under the pretext that it was inconvenient to say more about this matter.

With Yu Ba's nod in front and the approval of the county order, Li Jiwen no longer doubted it at the moment, and left with satisfaction. Of course, it was not only Li Jiwen who was satisfied, but also Dr. Lu who came with him.
