Chapter 2 Worrying Situation

"Childe, the green calyx has taken the first step, and he will continue to serve Childe in the next life. The fastest and most stable update dìng reading artifact" Li Yuntian was almost not suffocated by Qin Gongzi just now, he breathed the air greedily, and before he could take a breath, he suddenly heard Lu Calyx say, and there seemed to be a trace of reluctance in his tone.

"Next life?" He didn't understand the meaning of the green calyx for a moment.

"Don't!" Qin Gongzi shouted loudly.

Almost at the same time, Li Yuntian heard a muffled bang, as if it was the sound of a heavy object hitting the wall, and then he guessed what was going on—the green calyx hit the wall!

This shocked him, he never imagined that the green calyx's temperament was so fierce, and he would rather die than be humiliated.

Seeing that the matter was getting bigger, Qin Gongzi stumbled out of the room, and even tripped over a stool halfway through because he was too panicked, and fell firmly.

At this moment, the arrogant Qin Gongzi could not have imagined that his tragic fate had quietly kicked off.

Although Li Yuntian was very concerned about Lu Calyx's injury, there was nothing he could do now, so he could only secretly hurry up there.

"Oh no, the green calyx girl has martyred the adult!" After five or six minutes, a man hurried in, and then rushed out again, standing in the doorway and shouting.

"Martyrdom?" Hearing these two words, Li Yuntian smiled coldly in his heart, it was obvious that this guy was Qin Gongzi's person, deliberately disturbing the audio-visual, trying to cover up the real reason why the green calyx hit the wall.

Soon after, there was a sound of messy footsteps outside the door, and several people entered the room.

"Boss, if you still have gas, send it to the hospital." Soon, a man asked for instructions in a deep voice, as if checking the green calyx's injury.

"Look carefully, are you still angry?" Li Yuntian couldn't help but feel a little relieved when he heard this, and he didn't think that the next moment, a gloomy voice came.

"I'm out of gas, my subordinates just read it wrong." The person who had spoken earlier hurriedly changed his words, and seemed to be in awe of the "leader".

"Carry it to the back hall, cover it with a white cloth, and wait for the autopsy to come tomorrow. The fact that the green calyx girl can be martyred for adults is also a beautiful talk in our county. The leader snorted coldly and got up to leave.

The people in the room then carried the green calyx away, and since the leader had already made a conclusion, the matter of the green calyx's martyrdom was undoubtedly a certainty.

"Mixed ...... Bastard! Li Yuntian never expected that those people would not be saved when they saw death, and when he saw the green calyx die, his heart was suddenly extremely angry.

In addition to his anger, he was also clearly aware of his bad situation, although he was the dignified leader of a county, he couldn't control the situation in the county, not only did that Qin Gongzi dare to come to his room to insult the green calyx, but the people around him did not stand by his side, and stood by and watched the injured green calyx.

"Green Calyx, I must save you, I will make them pay a terrible price for today's actions!" In addition to being angry, Li Yuntian gradually calmed down, and secretly swore in his heart.

Unconsciously, he has regarded the green calyx as his family, maybe the green calyx was originally his family, but he hasn't remembered it yet, since someone wants to kill his family, then of course he must be prepared to bear his raging anger.

However, he can't protect himself now, how can he save the green calyx?

Just when Li Yuntian was anxious, a glimmer of light suddenly came from his eyes, and then he slowly opened his eyes, and he woke up from his slumber due to the stimulation of what happened just now.

Because he had been asleep for a long time, the bright light from the outside world made Li Yuntian feel extremely dazzling, and he immediately closed his eyes again, and it took a while to gradually adapt to the light outside.

He looked around, and found himself in a quiet and well-laid room in an antique setting, with an oil lamp lit on the table, the light he had seen earlier coming from the wick of the oil lamp.

When he noticed a banner hanging on the wall that read "Loyal to the Monarch and Serving the Country", he suddenly remembered where he was, this room was his bedroom in the county government house in Hukou County, and the words on the wall were written after he came to Hukou County to show his self-encouragement.

At this time, the two memories in his mind, which had calmed down, seemed to be stimulated by something, and they were fiercely entangled together, making him have a splitting headache and great pain.

However, unlike before, the two memories did not have a truce after a contest, but slowly merged together, not only making those intermittent memory fragments complete, but also making his thoughts suddenly clear, and finally remembering who the green calyx was.

Green Calyx is two years younger than him, is his personal maid, when he was ten years old because of the poverty of the family was sold into the Li family, signed the death deed of sale, has been by his side, served him tea and ink, tidy up the room and books, although it is a personal maid but in fact is half a scholar.

So far, the two have lived together for seven years, in the first half of this year, that is, the nineteenth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, in 1421 AD, after his high school Xin Chou Kedian test second class jinshi, the family urged him to accept the green calyx as a concubine, and spread the branches and leaves for the Li family.

Because he was busy preparing for the examination of the Jishi at that time, he didn't take care of this matter, and later because he failed to enter the Hanlin Academy, he was a little depressed, and then he filled in Hukou County, and the matter of taking concubines after being busy was delayed.

Different from marrying a wife, taking a concubine is very simple, neither the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, nor the need for three media and six hires, as long as the man goes to the official house to report, the Ming media is marrying is an honor and etiquette that only the wife can enjoy

If he remembers correctly, when he was admitted to the Juren last year, his family set him a family, and after he was a big local family, he was in charge of the Li family, and he married the other party after he was weak.

As for this family business, he didn't know much, first, he was busy preparing for the exam, and he had no distractions, and secondly, marriage has always been the order of his parents, and the words of the matchmaker can not be allowed for him to intervene.

Not only the green calyx, but also other things Li Yuntian also remembered, his ancestral home is in Lijiazhuang, Shimen County, Jinan Prefecture, Shandong, and his home is a long house of a side branch of the Li family of the Shimen family.

Since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the Li family has produced three people, and it is a famous scholarly family in Jinan Prefecture.

After filling the vacancy in Hukou County, he was full of spirit and wanted to learn in Hukou County and make a career vigorously, but who would have thought that Ren would encounter a head-on blow soon after.

As the saying goes, there are three fires when a new official takes office, and he is naturally no exception, the first fire burned on those officials of the county government.

All the affairs of the county government need to be carried out by the officials, which can be said to be the foundation of the operation of the county government, so he assessed the officials and selected the best.

The results of the examination were very unsatisfactory, and two-thirds of the officials did not meet the requirements, and he dismissed them, and then he posted a recruitment notice in the county to appoint a new batch of officials.

In his opinion, as soon as the notice comes out, there should be a large number of people, no matter how it is said that the officials are also a decent errand, belonging to the staff of the government, eating official meals, and at the same time this is also an opportunity to serve the country.

But the fact was that he did not expect that no one came to the county government for half a month to apply, which made the operation of the county government paralyzed and unable to handle daily affairs.

Crucially, the time for the autumn tax is approaching.

Taxation is the foundation of the country, and if the autumn tax revenue does not come up, it will make a big fuss, not only because his performance evaluation this year will be recorded as poor, but also because he will be dismissed by his boss and investigated.

In addition to the secretary Zhang Youde, the county government is in charge of taxes, and the two officials in charge of daily affairs were dismissed because they did not pass the assessment.

He didn't expect things to develop to this point, so he had no choice but to compromise under the persuasion of Zhang Siyi, and let Zhang Siguan recruit back those dismissed officials and reappoint them, and the county government resumed its operation.

This incident hit him deeply, and his prestige in the county government was even more discredited, so on the grounds of inspecting local affairs, he rented a flat boat and led the green calyx to Poyang Lake to take a boat to relax.

Depressed, he drank a lot of wine on the boat, and when he was relieved in the evening, he stumbled and fell into the lake. He was a northerner who was not accustomed to water, and would have drowned if he hadn't been rescued by the boatman in time.

In fact, in history, he had already died in the water accident, and now the soul in his body is the same Li Yuntian more than 600 years later, but the memories of the two are fused together, which makes him feel that he is not dead.

Scenes of the past flashed in Li Yuntian's mind like a movie, and he found that his previous self was really too naïve, completely a stunned young man who didn't understand human feelings, and when he first arrived, he wanted to attack the officials of the county government, which was simply humiliating himself.

There is an old saying, "The iron beats the Xu officials and the flowing water of the county", how can the Xu officials be so easy to deal with?

The magistrate of the county will be transferred after one or two terms, and many of the officials can work in the county government for more than ten or even twenty years, and some of them are inherited from father to son.

Therefore, those newly appointed magistrates usually treat the officials well after they arrive, because they have to rely on the officials to do things.

The county magistrate who has the means often uses both grace and power, both co-opts and suppresses the officials, and controls the overall situation of the county government; And the county magistrate, who has no means, coexists peacefully with the officials, and everyone does not interfere with the river water, and they are safe and sound, and they are happy with each other.

And as soon as he took office, he took the Xu officials, which undoubtedly offended the entire Xu officials group, and naturally he had to be resisted by those Xu officials, and as a result, he suffered a loss, and the depression in his heart can be imagined.

Li Yuntian was in no mood to pay attention to the officials who had joined forces to make things difficult for him, and he didn't care about going to Qin Gongzi and those guys who couldn't save him.

He is not the nerd who didn't understand the shit before, and he must not be impulsive at this time, with his current situation, he has no capital to settle accounts with others, and he will die if he doesn't do it.
