Chapter 22: Punishment
Mu Hai sent You Nanshan to the gate of the county ya, watched them ride their horses and left, returned to the lobby, sat on the main seat, and tapped the table with his fingertips: "Yuan Can is injured, Yuan Hui, you take him to the inner house to settle down first, check the inner house well, and see if there are any mistakes." ”
"Wood Yuan, you and the officials of the various ministries go to the front yard to bring the account books of work, punishment, officials, taxes, etc., and I will look through them one by one and inquire about them. There was a shortage of servants in the inner house, so two of the officials posted notices for me to recruit people, and the rest cooperated with Yuanhui to clean up and inspect the inner house for me. ”
"Yes."
Everyone received the order and dispersed, and the county government officials had the obligation to help the county order deal with the trivial matters of the inner house, and Mu Hai's arrangement was not considered to be a personal use of power.
In the huge lobby, only Mu Hai, who was sitting with a golden knife, and Liu Xiang'er, who was standing on the side, were left.
Liu Xiang'er also heard You Nanshan's words before leaving, frowned, and whispered: "Does You Nanshan have the intention of provoking?" ”
Mu Hai shook his head, pulled Xiang'er to sit in his arms, smelled Xiang'er's quiet fragrance, and said with a smile: "Good Xiang'er, what is the dowry that Sister Liu gave you?" Your son-in-law is very short of money right now. ”
"Childe intends to recruit Jianyong?" Xiang'er's dark eyes lit up.
"Yes, You Nanxi dares to take risks because of the existence of the You family, and now the dynasty is chaotic, and the local officials have no soldiers in their hands, so they will inevitably be subject to Haoqiang. I want to become the real lord of Surabaya City, so Li Mo's family must not stay. "Makikaido.
Xiang'er was overjoyed when she heard this, and said with a smile: "County Lieutenant Li Yao should be Li Mo's relative, he didn't take his son in his eyes along the way." It's just that Li Mo is the hegemon of Surabaya City, and he has been entrenched for many years, so it's not easy to get rid of it......"
Mu Hai patted Xiang'er's soft buttocks and sighed: "Xiang'er, you don't have to provoke me, I have to get rid of him if it's not easy." This is not only the duty of being a Surabaya county magistrate, but also the duty of being your man. ”
Hearing this, Liu Xiang'er's face changed slightly, and she hurriedly got up from Muhai, Yingying knelt down and said, "Xiang'er deceived her son." ”
Where was Mu Hai willing to let Xiang'er kneel on the cold ground, pull her up, and said with a smile: "I didn't blame you." ”
"When did Childe find out?" Liu Xiang'er was pulled and sat on Mu Hai's lap again.
Mu Hai wrapped his arms around Xiang'er's willow waist and said with a smile: "It was determined just now." Speaking of which, I said in Wanxianglou that the way of being an official was still plagiarizing my father-in-law's remarks, I have always admired Lord Liu Xu, but I didn't expect to be honored to be his son-in-law. ”
Xiang'er said angrily: "Don't be poor, tell me where I showed my feet?" ”
"Xiang'er's calves are thin and white, and her little feet are also very beautiful, how can there be horse feet? Why don't you go back and lift your skirt and see if I didn't notice it before--well, don't hit, I say, I say. It doesn't show any flaws, you seem to be very familiar with Surabaya City, and you also have an inexplicable hatred for Li Mo's family, and then you can contact the previous ones, it is not difficult to guess that you are the daughter of Lord Liu Xu. In fact, when I was in Wanxianglou, I was a little suspicious. When you and I first met, you treated me much better than You Nanxi and others. It's just that I was fascinated by sex at the time, and I thought I was very charming, so I didn't think much about it......"
"If Xiang'er can't meet his son, he will never commit to You Nanxi's generation." Xiang'er is colorful.
Mu Hai nodded and said: "I believe this, how can Liu Zheng's daughter be extraordinary?" That night, you successively mocked You and Zhao, I am afraid that you have the determination to die if you do not succeed. Fortunately, I came at the right time, otherwise there would be one less peerless city in the world. ”
"It's also Xiang'er's luck." Xiang'er's beautiful eyes were as gentle as water, and she said softly, "God not only gave Xiang'er a chance to take revenge, but also gave Xiang'er a wishful husband." ”
Mu Hai was very happy when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Ruyi Langjun?" I know that it is Ruyi Langjun and I don't cherish it, why did you be hot and cold to me in the days since Shouchun came out, and I really recruited it! ”
"It's not that I'm afraid you'll give up in chaos." Xiang'er lightly hammered Mu Hai, pursed her red lips and coquettishly,
"You don't even give Xiang'er a name, and Xiang'er slowly likes you without being angry, and she is so scared that she can only be hot and cold to you. But seeing that you are not afraid of life and death to defend Xiang'er, Xiang'er's heart will be completely uncontrollable. ”
The beauty is gracious, and there is no way to repay it.
Mu Hai listened to Xiang'er's tender words, his heart was touched, he tightly tightened Xiang'er's slender waist, and said with a smile: "Completely fallen? Aren't you afraid of abandoning from the beginning? ”
Xiang'er shook her head slowly, and said shyly: "The concubine plans to marry her body and rest for the rest of her life, even if she is ruthlessly abandoned, she can't be ashamed." ”
Mu Hai laughed, kissed Xiang'er's snow-white slender neck, and said, "In my heart, you are my wife." ”
"That's a good thing to say." Xiang'er glanced at Mu Hai, and tapped her slender white fingers on Mu Hai's forehead, "Now that I've figured it out, I don't want the title of concubine anymore, and I will compete for favor in the future, so I will be your personal maid and follow you every day." ”
"I'm approving it, let you rejoice every night." Mu Hai said with a grin.
Xiang'er took a sip lightly, heard someone's voice, hurriedly got up from Mu Hai's lap with a red face, and hurriedly arranged her skirt.
Wu Yuan took the chief Bo Xiangzhi and the small officials in charge of the county government's work, criminal, official, and tax departments into the lobby with a thick volume.
Mu Hai looked at the mountains of dossiers in front of him, his mouth opened in shock, and he secretly regretted: Grandma Watermelon, why are there so many, I knew that Lao Tzu shouldn't have said enough.
Wood looked at the words from afar, and said understandingly: "There are more files, adults should read them in batches, take your time, don't worry." ”
Mu Hai hesitated for a moment, waved his hand and said: "No, I want to grasp the situation in Surabaya as soon as possible, I can't delay, I must read it today." ”
Wu Yuan glanced at Mu Hai deeply, bowed and said, "Yes." ”
Mu Hai flipped through them one by one accompanied by Xiang'er, there were many volumes, even if it was only a cursory browsing, it took most of the day, and even lunch was dealt with in the lobby.
When it was dark, he finally sorted out everything, and Xiang'er transcribed the main points into a book. The situation in Surabaya County is even more difficult to deal with than imagined, Li Mo's family has extended its tentacles to all corners, intertwined with each other, wanting to pull a hair, and the whole body moves.
Mu Hai took the booklet written by Xiang'er and flipped through it, rejoiced in his suffering, and said with a smile: "Everything is difficult at the beginning, now that you have a clue, things will come naturally." ”
"What your lord said is very true," Wood bowed from afar, "I wonder if there are any other assignments from Lord Zhixian?" The implication is that it's time to get off work.
Mu Hai said secretly: Eighty percent of you are Li Mo's people, and I don't worry about you doing anything if I have something. waved his hand and said, "Everyone has worked hard today......
"My lord," Li Yao, the county lieutenant, suddenly interrupted, "Tonight, Li Yuanwai set up a banquet in Wangjiang Tower to catch the wind and wash the dust for the adults, and the subordinate officials passed the word to the adults on their behalf, hoping that the adults would appreciate the light." ”
Xiang'er frowned when she heard this.
"Oh, Li Yuanwai?" Mu Hai tapped his fingers on the tabletop, held his forehead and smiled, "Which Li Yuanwai?" ”
Li Yao's small eyes lit up, and he said proudly: "Only Master Li Mo and Li dare to call Li Yuanwai in Surabaya City, and others don't have the guts." ”
"Li Mo, Li Mo, it is said that the county lieutenant Li is also surnamed Li, I don't know what the relationship is with Li Yuanwai?"
Li Yao smiled: "Don't hide it, Li Yuanwai is Uncle Li Yao." ”
"Oh, I see." Mu Hai had a suddenly realized expression, "No wonder Li Mo asked you to pass the word for him, hehe, I thought that Li Mo could already casually call the county lieutenant who is the head of the county government and martial arts." Since it's your uncle, it doesn't hurt to pass on a word for him..."
Mu Hai paused, and when everyone thought that he was finished, Mu Hai suddenly slammed the shocked wood and said, "County Lieutenant Li!" In the public court, when the proceedings were being discussed, you openly used your private interests to abolish the public, spread the word for your uncle, and despised the discipline! The new officials of this county take office, and if you are not punished today, it will be difficult to convince the public in the future. Wu Xiancheng, how should Li County Lieutenant be punished for this crime according to the law? ”
Wood Yuan was stunned by Mu Hai's sudden shock, and he didn't bother to answer for a while.
Li Yao also stayed for a long time before he reacted, and realized that Mu Hai was going to punish him, and he was shocked and angry. On weekdays, he is used to being arrogant, but at this time he blurted out: "You dare to punish me......"
Mu Hai was suddenly angry, Lao Tzu didn't dare to punish you?!
"Despise the officials, roar the court, thirty canes, and the left and right officials will be executed quickly!" Mu Hai said secretly: You see if I dare.
The officials looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
Let them beat Li Yao, they don't dare, but if they are allowed to openly disobey the order of the county order, it will never be.
Mu Hai saw that the official did not move, and said with a smile: "Wu County Cheng, for the officer, if you don't obey the order of the county, how to deal with it?" ”
Wu Yuan was shocked, and secretly said that this county magistrate would not take office, and he would drive all the officials of the county government home on the first day of his office. Hurriedly bowed down and said, "I'm stupid, and please calm your anger." ”
Mu Hai wanted to drive these people home, but now that he has no one in his hands, and disbanded them, Surabaya City will inevitably be in chaos, and the consequences are not something he can bear, so he needs to slowly figure it out, and said to Zhou Ye: "You go to the execution for thirty, if he intends to resist, double!" ”
"What if he runs away?"
Mu Hai glanced at Li Yao and said with a smile: "Dare to escape from the gate of the county government and kill him!" ”
"Order!" Zhou Ye bowed down to receive the promise, picked up the killing stick, danced a stick flower, and praised, "Good wood!" ”
Li Yao is also a brave person, seeing Zhou Yelu's hands, he knew in his heart that he was not an opponent, and he honestly lay on the ground and did not dare to act rashly.
He was afraid that he would really kill him on the spot, even if the clan uncle avenged him afterwards, it would be useless, and revenge could not bring the dead back to life.
