In the county office, an old man wearing a nine-grade official uniform sat on a Taishi chair, holding a book in his left hand.

Next to him, a maid held a puff fan in her hand, gently fanning the breeze, her eyelids kept drooping, yawning, and every time the master took a few shots, she could be startled.

A servant suddenly ran in, knelt on the ground and said, "Master, there is a person outside who claims to be the Seventh Prince who asks to see him." ”

The county master's thoughts were interrupted, his face sank, and he said coldly: "What seven sons, I don't see you." ”

The official said in fear: "But the subordinates and others can't stop it." ”

The county magistrate directly smashed the books on several cases, and was furious, "Waste!"

The official was so frightened that he didn't dare to raise his head, so he had to stick to the ground tightly, trying not to tremble too much.

"This lord is so powerful. A word sounded outside the door, and then a young man walked in, followed by a beautiful woman.

When the county magistrate saw the two of them, he was stunned for a moment, and then shouted angrily: "Who are you, you are so bold that you dare to trespass on the government without permission." ”

Su Xiaoqi walked inside by himself, and said, "My name is Su Xiaoqi." ”

The county magistrate said coldly: "I don't care who you are, do you know what the crime of trespassing on the county government is?"

Su Xiaoqi found a stool and sat down, and said with a smile: "I really don't know this, the county official told me?"

The county magistrate stretched out a palm, "Fifty rods." ”

Su Xiaoqi nodded and asked, "Then what kind of crime should it be if the officials don't work for the benefit of the people, but conniving at their subordinates to bring disaster to the township and harm the people?"

The county magistrate was stunned for a moment, his eyes rolled slightly, and he pretended to be puzzled: "I don't understand what you say." ”

Su Xiaoqi smiled and said, "I know you understand." According to the laws of the empire, if an official knows that his subordinates have done something harmful to the interests of the people, not only will he not be severely punished, but he will also condone and shield him, and once it is verified, he shall be dismissed from his post and sent to the army, and the next three generations shall not be allowed to enter the court as an official ......"

Speaking of this, he paused and asked with a smile, "I wonder if what I said was missing?"

No matter how much the county master pretends not to understand at the moment, he is also a little weak-hearted, a few years ago, there was indeed a distant relative who dragged the relationship and found an errand under his own hands, and he had a brother at home, who was lazy and lazy, bullying the weak, and after having this relationship, he intensified it, and even forcibly collected protection money, bullying men and women, and the nearby ten miles and eight villages can be said to be notorious.

At the beginning, he also told his distant relative, and the man promised him, but things did not get better, and gradually, he turned a blind eye and did not look at it.

First, I am too lazy to care about these trivial things, there are so many things in the county government every day, and I can't be busy, and secondly, because of that layer of relationship, I don't want to say much, anyway, no one has reported to the county government over the years.

The county magistrate first looked at Su Xiaoqi for a while, and found that this guy was dressed ordinarily and was carrying a sword, so he naturally guessed Su Xiaoqi's identity.

It's nothing more than the kind of ranger who has nothing to do for a day, walks around with a broken sword on his back, and plays the slogan of chivalry and righteousness all day long, robbing the rich and helping the poor, which sounds awe-inspiring, but don't you know that chivalry is forbidden by force?

He has been an official for so many years, but he has seen a lot of this kind of person, of course, he is too lazy to take care of it, to put it bluntly, he is a small sesame official with a big fart, and he tries cases every day and looks at erotic books, isn't it good?

Let a sleeping dog lie.

This was his original intention as an official.

But it was the first time I had seen someone who dared to go to his county to spread wildness.

So this guy in front of him is either really a little capable, or he is a fledgling stunned young man.

In the Chinese Empire, have you ever heard of someone who dares to kill the imperial court officials?

Yes, there must be, but the price that this kind of person needs to pay is also heavy.

Yes, as long as you become an official, no matter how small an official is, behind it is the entire Chinese Empire, and the empire has a special existence for these so-called heroes, Tianji Pavilion.

Thinking like this, he suddenly had confidence in his heart, and said coldly: "What is it? I have been an official for so many years, do I still need you to be a little doll like you who has not grown all the hair to teach me? Whether this official is guilty or not, it is decided from above, what are you?" ”

Su Xiaoqi sighed a little helplessly, "I said before, my name is Su Xiaoqi." ”

The official who was kneeling on the ground, when he heard Su Xiaoqi's words for the first time, he was already sweating profusely, and wanted to remind his master, but he was afraid of being cut off by Su Xiaoqi's sword, so he could only continue to lie on the ground.

The county magistrate said loudly directly to the outside: "Come on, tie up this guy who is full of nonsense, and put him in the prison to listen to interrogation." ”

But there was no movement outside.

The county magistrate frowned, kicked on the body of the official on the ground, and asked coldly, "What's the matter?"

The official raised his head and tried to speak, but found that he could not make a sound at all.

He was indeed too scared to do anything.

Su Xiaoqi got up and said, "No need to shout, I knocked me out." ”

When the county magistrate heard this, he only felt that his eyes were dark, and he almost fell to the ground, but he didn't forget to stretch out a finger and point at Su Xiaoqi, "You...... You dare to beat up an official, what a boldness. ”

It's a pity that his hands are trembling and his voice is trembling, and this sentence has lost a bit of momentum.

Su Xiaoqi's body moved, and he kicked the county master out directly, "Lao Tzu even wants you to fight." ”

After kicking the county master away, Su Xiaoqi shouted directly outside, "Come in." ”

As soon as the words fell, two men walked in with an official messenger, and then threw the official messenger directly on the ground, and then knelt in front of Su Xiaoqi, his tone was full of respect and excitement, "See Seventh Prince." ”

The county magistrate was stunned by Su Xiaoqi's sudden kick, and finally eased up, and before he had time to scold, he saw this scene, and the words that came to his mouth were directly swallowed back by him.

Of course, the original anger is gone, replaced by unprecedented fear.

Because of those two men, he knew both.

The reason why he was afraid was because these two people were from Tianji Pavilion.

In the Huaxia Empire, every official who takes office, no matter how big the official, will first be registered by the Tianji Pavilion, and these two people, when he first took office, happened to be these two people in charge of registration.

Although he didn't know much about Tianji Pavilion, he also knew that the status of these two people was definitely not low, but now, he knelt in front of this young man.

It seems that he bumped into a character he can't mess with.

He kept reciting the three words "Su Xiaoqi" in his heart, constantly searching for information about this name in his mind, and then, his heart was terrified.

Tsing shirt with a sword, Su Xiaoqi.

Isn't it the guy who killed the little sword god of Chaoshan, and also killed Mr. Bai Mei of the Iron Sword Gate, and then won the first place in the Chaoshan Conference?

I heard that even the Jiang City Lord and his wife also died because of him, that is the city lord hand-picked by the empire, if you only talk about the official position, it is much higher than your own little county master, I don't know how much, and there is nothing wrong with death?

After he got up from the ground, he knelt down on the spot, and then crawled towards Su Xiaoqi, pleading: "The lower official has no eyes, and I also ask the prince to have a lot, don't be like the small one." ”

Su Xiaoqi looked at him, sighed softly, and said slowly: "Don't feel that if you become an official, with the empire supporting you, you can do nothing, the empire selects officials for the well-being of the people, not for you to bully the people, you have read more books than me, don't you even understand this truth?"

After he finished speaking, he began to walk outside, and said: "According to the laws of the empire, they can do what they should do, and since they don't cherish it themselves, it is no wonder that others take back the glory that originally belonged to them." ”

"Yes!"

The two men of Tianji Pavilion responded, simple and powerful.

After Su Xiaoqi left the county office, he seemed to have a lot on his mind, and at the same time, he seemed to have figured out something.

Yun Suyin looked at him, and at that moment, she felt that Su Xiaoqi seemed to have changed.

This kind of change is not bad, on the contrary, in fact, she has always hoped that Su Xiaoqi can become like this, accept the identity of the "Seventh Prince", and be able to pick up the glory and dignity that originally belonged to him, but now, she doesn't want Su Xiaoqi to change.

Because of what, she can't say herself.

Yes, Su Xiaoqi has indeed changed.

After the incident at Fang Xingwen's house, he began to change, but it was not obvious at that time, and just now, after entering the county office, Yun Suyin could clearly feel it.

That kind of change is like a kind of growth.

Everyone grows and changes, just in different ways.

Su Xiaoqi has already admitted his identity as the "Seventh Son" in his heart, and now he is already the Seventh Prince of the Empire, and he is no longer the ordinary boy from Panyang Town.

Because when the two people in Tianji Pavilion knelt down, Su Xiaoqi did not stop them, nor did they feel embarrassed, but chose to accept them calmly.

Not far from the county office, there is a small river, and there are a few willow trees on the side of the small river.

Su Xiaoqi walked under a willow tree, and he suddenly missed the little girl named Qingqing.

Yun Suyin stood beside him and didn't bother him.

After a long time, Su Xiaoqi turned his head, took out something from his arms, and handed it to Yun Suyin with some embarrassment, "This is for you." ”

Yun Suyin was stunned for a moment, looking at the thing in his hand, it was a hosta, and there was a beaded flower with a not very good color on it, this kind of hairpin can be seen everywhere on the street, and it is not a valuable object.

But Yun Suyin was stunned, and while taking the hosta, she asked, "When did you buy it?"

Su Xiaoqi smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "When I came, I saw that you kept staring at this thing, and I bought one when I was eating." What, don't like it?"

Yun Suyin shook her head and said, "No, I like it very much." ”

Su Xiaoqi was relieved, "That's good." ”

Yun Suyin's fingers gently stroked the hosta, and she was suddenly stunned, and put the hosta in front of her eyes, only to see a line of small characters engraved on it, "Peerless beauty, gentle as jade".

Except for the neat font, there is no calligraphy.

Needless to say, these eight words must have been engraved by Su Xiaoqi himself.

She looked at Su Xiaoqi, but Su Xiaoqi just looked at the water and was stunned.
