Qiushui County, Xuanzhou, Ningguo, is a small border county.

The market was bustling, and even though the pedestrians were hurrying to and fro, their eyes were all in one place: they were two outsiders, one master and one servant, the brocade-clothed boy walked in front, and the servant led a snow-white horse to follow.

A knowledgeable merchant recognized that the horse was a treasure horse of the Xia Kingdom, and in today's contradictions between the Xia Kingdom and Daning, a horse is worth a fortune.

"Childe, is this horse really worth a hundred taels of silver?" The attendant pulled the reins with one hand and stroked the horse's mane with the other, wondering more and more, "Is it worth the prince to come here for thousands of miles to buy?" ”

"You know what!"

The attendant frowned, lowered his voice and said, "The little one is stupid to see this horse." ”

The boy in brocade scolded again: "Can it still be stupid for you?" With that, he snatched the reins and decided to lead the horse himself.

Suddenly, the gong sounded deafeningly.

"Choke-choke-" twice, making the hearts of unprepared passers-by tremble three times.

The boy in brocade was holding the reins, only to hear a neighing in his ears, and when he looked up, he saw the white horse running away with his front hooves raised, and rushed into the crowd like crazy.

The boy in brocade was caught off guard, watching the reins slip out of his hand, and he was stunned in place.

The entourage was also dumbfounded: "Childe...... The horse ran away......"

"Don't chase it yet!"

The white horse went on a rampage all the way, causing passers-by who had no time to dodge to fall to the ground.

The retinue ran after the horse, but their feet were no match for their legs. At first he could see the shadow of a horse, but the horse soon disappeared into the street, without a trace......

The horse was gone, but two vermilion lacquer signs appeared at the corner of the street - "quiet" and "avoidance".

Two officials walked in front with signs, followed by a dozen officials. These people are all clustered around a small dark blue sedan chair.

The official who walked in the front was sounding the gong to open the way.

Pedestrians on the street avoided the sound of the gong, except for those who had fallen and slowly got up, rubbing their arms and legs.

Seeing that they couldn't catch up with the horse, and were afraid that Gongzi would blame him, he hurriedly pointed to the team and said angrily: "Childe, they scared the horse away." ”

A hundred taels of silver were lost like this, and the boy in brocade couldn't help but clench his fists, staring straight at the pedestrian, and then scanning the two vermilion lacquer signs, his eyes seemed to be burning with anger.

He recognized the word "quiet".

He also recognized the word "avoidance", but chose to turn a blind eye.

The people on the street were hiding, but he was the only one who went up to the wind and walked towards the officials. The figure walked with a bit of righteousness and awe.

The official who sounded the gong to open the way saw that someone was blocking the road, and stopped and scolded: "Adults patrol the streets, idlers avoid it!" ”

"My lord, what adult?" The boy in brocade stood in the middle of the road, not giving an inch.

The official arched his hand: "Naturally, it is Lord Lingmei of Qiushui County." ”

"It's just a seven-grade county order, what a big show!"

The rather provocative voice came into the sedan chair, and the person sitting in the sedan chair slowly opened his eyes.

The outsider said again: "Tell him to come out, hide inside!" ”

"Be bold, dare to be disrespectful to adults!"

"If he doesn't come out for me to see, how do I know if he's an adult or a villain?"

The people outside intensified, and the people in the sedan car tapped the car with the folding fan in their hands.

The sedan chair fell to the ground, and without waiting for the servants on both sides of the sedan chair to open the sedan curtain, a folding fan had opened the sedan curtain.

Out of the sedan chair came a man in official uniform, who walked a few steps forward, walked like the wind, stood upright in front of the sedan chair after standing still, holding a folding fan in his hand.

This person is known to all the people present, and it is their Qingtian Lord of Qiushui County-Master Mei Xiaorenmei.

In fact, it is not appropriate to say that it is an old man, because this adult is only eighteen years old.

Under the crown, Mei Xiaoren's handsome face was slightly cold.

Qiushui County is so big, but all the people here, Mei Xiaoren is familiar with it, and at a glance he concluded that the person who stirred up trouble was a foreigner, and it seemed that he was still the son of a rich and noble family.

"You're the prefectural magistrate here?"

Mei Xiaoren vaguely remembered that someone had answered him, and he was admittedly too lazy to answer a second time.

"You scared my horse away, you have to pay for it!" The boy in brocade said angrily.

Mei Xiaoren also vaguely remembered that a crazy horse flashed past the sedan chair just now.

The horse ran away, but many people on the side of the street were covered in mud, and some people were clutching their arms and legs and crying out for pain, obviously because the crazy horse was injured.

"Horses are brutes and are not sensible, and you don't lead your horses, and you are not sensible?" Mei Xiaoren's face was like frost, and his voice was like ice.

"Obviously, you beat the gongs and drums to frighten my horse......"

"Scared away by the sound of gongs." Mei Xiaoren's expression did not decrease, "Sick? ”

The surrounding officials laughed loudly, and the people also pointed out and made fun of them.

The brocade boy's face darkened, and he was even more annoyed.

"You have a county order, and you don't know the truth that you have to pay for damage to people and property?"

Mei Xiaoren really wanted to know what this out-of-town kid wanted, so he followed his words and asked, "Then tell me, how much do you want me to lose?" ”

"A hundred taels of silver."

Mei Xiaoren was taken aback in his heart, staring at that kid with humble eyes, a crazy horse for a hundred taels of silver?

This person, not sick?

It seems that if there is a horse, there must be a master.

Mei Xiaoren didn't have the patience to entangle with such a boring person, turned around and returned to the sedan chair, leaving only one sentence: "Find a doctor to show the injured person, if he needs it, give him a look at his brain by the way." ”

"You!"

When the angry voice came, Mei Xiaoren had already lifted the sedan curtain and sat back in the sedan chair.

The boy in brocade still stopped in the middle of the road and refused to let him.

The officials will also see the opportunity to act after staying in the yamen for a long time, and they know how to avoid offending the powerful, they have no confidence to deal with this rich boy for the time being, so they can only wait for the adults to speak.

The person who struck the gong turned back to the sedan chair, leaned his head outside the window and whispered, "My lord, he's still there." ”

"Get rid of it!"

Mei Xiaoren gave an order, and the officials were no longer polite to the brocade-clothed boy, and pushed the master and servant to the side of the street in a few strokes to make room for their family to pass.

"You wait for me!"

Mei Xiaoren turned a deaf ear to the man's clamour, only feeling that he might not be able to tell whose territory it was.

A servant began to arrange: "A few of you go to call a doctor, count how many people have been injured, and turn around so that Master Ye can record it in the adult's political record." ”

The people outside were busy, and Mei Xiaoren picked up a booklet next to him and held it in his hand.

This thick booklet is Mei Xiaoren's most precious thing, which records all his achievements in Qiushui County in the past two years, which makes people sigh that it is not easy after reading it.

It is not easy to be an official, and it is even more difficult for Mei Xiaoren to be an official. If you don't say anything else, let's just say that it is natural for a man to be an official, and she Mei Xiaoren is a woman!

It's a secret that God knows at home. She is an out-and-out man in the eyes of the people of Qiushui County, thanks to her perfect acting skills.

After two years of training, Mei Xiaoren has been paying attention to his words and deeds all the time, striving to be no different from ordinary men. In addition, she also has to skillfully use a manly voice, and bring an appropriate "informality" in order to successfully blind people who know her.

Therefore, being an official is tiring, and pretending to be an official is even more tiring!

However, it is contrary to the code of ethics for women to be officials, and it is intolerable in the eyes of the world. Mei Xiaoren knows that he is acting against the sky when he embarks on the official road, and he has to be more careful, but since he is rebellious, he must be wonderful and worth it. She worked cautiously for two years, and finally saved these achievements, hoping that her boss could open her eyes and promote her as soon as possible.

The sedan chair continued to move forward, and the boy in brocade was driven to the side of the road by the servants, and shouted angrily: "Do you care about the people, or do you use them as your political achievements?" ”

Mei Xiaoren picked up the corner of the curtain and shook the eye knife: "What's the matter with you?" ”

At this time, an official chased after him from behind and ran fast.

"Newspaper—"

The voice came into Mei Xiaoren's ears, which made her heart sink. Whoever stops her on her way to report on the street will not be good.

The sedan chair stopped, and the official hurriedly ran to the sedan chair and whispered: "My lord, Liubian Village has been bandited." ”

Mei Xiaoren frowned deeply for a moment.

This is not only a bad thing, but a bad news!

She has served as the county magistrate of Qiushui County for two years, and she has never encountered bandits doing evil here, but once she encounters it, it is a big deal. Since ancient times, bandits have been troublesome, and if she can't calm down, let alone be promoted, even the black gauze hat on her head will be difficult to protect.

As for how to deal with it, she had to discuss it with her right-hand man and good brother, so she asked, "What about Master Ye?" ”

"Back to my lord, Master Ye has already gone to Liubian Village first."
