12. The tattered yamen

Chapter VIII

Sunset over the West Mountains.

The four of them entered Qinghe County, groped all the way to the yamen, but they didn't expect to see a dilapidated house like ruins, a hole in the wall of the house, grass had grown on the roof, and the two doors were old and moldy.

"It's broken! I thought I could get a good night's sleep, but it seems that I thought about it! Du Shaoqing pursed his mouth, and his angry face crossed with a touch of disgust.

If it weren't for the door plaque above the door, even Dong Qiuxu couldn't believe that the territory of Zhongnan had such a barren place. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

"Qing'er, my sister will make you two more futons later, so that you can sleep comfortably!" Du Shaoran's words interrupted Dong Qiuxu's emotion.

Dong Qiu continued to look at Du Shaoran's face with a rare display of tenderness, especially Du Shaoqing, who was staring at the restlessness, her eyes were full of sweet doting, not only that, but she also raised her hand to caress his head. He looked at Du Shaoran, who was such a little woman, and shouted at Du Shaoqing with taste: "It's hot to death!" ”

"That's it! It's hot to death for you! "The clouds are adding fuel to the fire.

"You guys!" Du Shaoqing was angry at the master and servant with his eyes, but he was defeated by Dong Qiuxu's obscenity, and he helplessly pulled Du Shaoran's hand with a bitter face and said aggrievedly: "Sister, you see that my brother-in-law and Fuyun are the dog slaves bullying me!" ”

"You two are not allowed to eat at night, or I will poison you!" Du Shaoran knew that now that she was in front of the mansion, she couldn't do anything with Dong Qiuxu without permission, but she would never allow anyone to say that her brother was not.

Dong Qiu continued to have a bitter face, but he didn't argue with Du Shaoran.

"Wife and slave ......" Fuyun also had a bitter face, and at the same time his stomach was gurgling.

"Go call the door!" Dong Qiu continued to glare at the floating clouds.

"Can there be anyone in there?" Fu Yunxin reluctantly walked towards the door of the mansion.

He knocked a few times and no one paid attention, followed him a few more times, but there was still no one, so he turned his head to look at Dong Qiuxu.

Dong Qiu continued to squint: "Kick away!" ”

Then there was a loud bang, and the two doors were easily kicked to the ground.

Du Shaoqing was in the back and chattered.

At this time, I saw five men in gray official clothes rushing out, all of them holding rusty knives in their hands, and the tallest and strongest man standing in the middle shouted at Dong Qiuxu and the others fiercely: "Where did the miscellaneous pieces come from? Dare to kick Lao Tzu's door! ”

"Lose money!" A short, skinny man on the far left answered.

"There are really people in such a place!" Du Shaoqing muttered.

"This official is the county magistrate of Qinghe County, is this how you greet this official?" Dong Qiu continued to look at the five of them arrogantly, and directly took out the spy book from his arms, not giving them a chance to talk nonsense at all.

Even when he saw the spy book in Dong Qiuxu's hand, the fat man in the middle still didn't believe it: "How is it possible?" It's been five years since a prefectural order took office here! ”

"See for yourself!" Dong Qiu continued to stiffen his face, and suddenly raised his hand to smash the text spy book on the fat man's face.

Although the fat man was very angry, he still didn't dare to be presumptuous, honestly picked up the spy book on the ground, opened it and looked at it, his face suddenly declined, and the rusty big knife in his hand also fell to the ground, and he knelt on the ground full of crying and begged for mercy: "Lord Yu and the villain have eyes and don't know Mount Tai, I hope you will forgive me!" ”

"Big brother!" This scene shocked the other four.

The fat man's forehead was full of sweat, looking at the four brothers who still didn't believe the facts, and shouted fiercely: "The little rabbit cub hasn't all knelt down yet, this is our county magistrate!" ”

When these words fell, the four of them threw down the big knife together, knelt on the ground and did not dare to breathe.

Dong Qiu continued to look at the five people kneeling on the ground, his narrow eyebrows lightly picked out bad intentions, and a sly smile flashed in his brown eyes when he stared at them, but in an instant, his handsome face was covered with coldness, with a clichΓ© posture, with his hands behind his back, with light steps, after circling the five people twice, he suddenly stretched out his hand and patted the back of the heads of the five people in order, and reprimanded: "There are so many idle meat one by one, no wonder the government will become like this!" ”

Du Shaoran knew Dong Qiuxu's true face, she just stood motionless, watched him act, and scolded him for being despicable over and over again.

"Your Excellency... There is no spare meat on the lowly duty..."The thin and short official who shouted for loss just now raised his head.

Dong Qiu continued to raise his eyebrows, stretched out his hand and twitched his head fiercely: "No idle meat, you don't know how to clean the mansion!" No idle meat, you don't know how to build a collapsed wall! You don't know how to pull the grass out of the roof! ”

"My lord knows that he is wrong, don't fight! Stop it! The thin servant hugged his head in pain and admitted his mistake.

Now the other four people were even more afraid to speak.

"Poofha!" Du Shaoqing couldn't hold back and laughed in front of everyone.

"Young Master, don't laugh." Floating clouds interjected.

"You..."

What Du Shaoqing wanted to say was directly interrupted by Du Shaoran, she looked at the floating clouds dressed as a woman, and a gloomy smile appeared on her face: "Yun'er, if the young master is angry, you are a maid to accompany the funeral, remember to protect him more in the future." ”

It was the first time for Du Shaoran to take the initiative to talk to Fuyun, and it was the first time for Fuyun to look at her so carefully, with fair skin, delicate eyebrows, bright and clean eyes, and a slender figure, the standard lady of the girl.

However, the floating clouds were in her seemingly innocent eyes, and Ni was cold, and the coolness penetrated into his heart to make people fearful, making him speechless for a while.

"Why don't you waste hurry up and bring the person in charge to the official, do you want the official to stand with his family all night?" Dong Qiu continued to yell at the five of them, and then turned to Du Shaoran with a smile and said, "Lady, don't be angry with a little girl, you will repair him for your husband later, come and laugh." With that, he took the opportunity to pinch her face while his other hand rubbed oil on her back.
