Xi Hongdou saw Xiao Zhi go to the wine table meeting with her new friends, so she and Ruxiang went to the yamen to clean up first, and then they were going to live here.

Rue Xiang saw that the backyard of the yamen was chaotic like a thief, and her face was indescribable.

"Clean up." Xi Hongdou said, hugging his arms and sleeves, he got busy.

When the bandit quartet saw that they were going to live in the yamen in the future, they naturally looked forward to it, they were also aggrieved when they were bandits, they were not extremely vicious, and they had no future as bandits.

"Lin Da, let the brothers fetch water first, tidy up all these rags in the yard into a pile, and see if there are any that can be used, and if there are any that cannot be used, and if there are still broken ones, throw them away!" Xi Hongdou said to the bandit four, several people are brothers, Lin Dalin two, Lin three, Lin four, Xi Hongdou felt that when their old Lin family was named, it was also to save trouble.

The brothers hurried to work, Xi Hongdou's "madness" that day they also saw it, and they were not soft on beating people, and now they are the housewives, and they also have to behave well.

Liu Fu parked the carriage in the backyard and hurriedly went out to find a place to sell forage.

Rue Xiang cleaned up the house, first cleaned up a room for Xi Hongdou and them to live in, the dust was very heavy, she also wondered, didn't the previous county order live in the yamen? This yamen has been inhabited for a long time.

Here Xiao Zhi and Zhao Huan and Zhou Kuan were chatting, and only then did they know how the previous county magistrate died.

"Those who hang themselves will have their families ruined." Zhou Kuan, the head catcher, said that others are more rough and have a rough personality.

Zhao Huan was speechless: "This Lihong County is really not a good place, the common people don't go to the yamen if they have any grievances, and there are not a few local squires and bandits colluding, to be honest, I, the master, don't want to be it." ”

It stands to reason that the master is a self-employed county commander, but it seems that the new county commander does not seem to bring the master, if he continues to follow, he is afraid of a death with the previous county commander, and now he is very worried.

Xiao Zhi asked, "The squires in this place are still colluding with bandits?" "No wonder bandits are rampant.

Zhou Kuan said: "In this place, there are many bandits, mountain bandits, horse bandits, all bandits, large and small, large and small, are in their own hands, the squire is afraid that the bandits will come to fight the autumn wind, and at first they also wanted to resist the sweep, but the yamen ...... The previous county order was a mess, who cares about the lives of the people? ”

Zhao Huan hurriedly coughed twice, although this Xiao Zhi looked small, he was also an official, and he really didn't save face by saying it to his face, but after he observed his words, he felt that Xiao Zhi didn't seem to care too much.

Xiao Zhi really doesn't care too much, anyway, this is talking about the previous county orders, not about him, now that he is in this place, he can only look forward, the path he chooses, he must make a name, so that he can prove himself, and he can have a chance to rise to the top!

"Tell me all about our squires and famous bandits, I'll have a number in my heart first!" Xiao Zhi said.

When the two of them heard this, their faces were embarrassed, the previous county orders were all older than this one, and they couldn't manage them one by one, even if they said it, it was in vain.

Xiao Zhi saw that the two of them had concerns, and he didn't force them, so he said, "Eat first, two please!" ”

The two of them responded with a hum, and they also had their own ideas in their hearts.

After eating, Xiao Zhi asked Zhao Huan: "Is Master Zhao interested in continuing to be a master with me?" When I first came here, I needed someone to help me guide me. ”

Zhao Huan didn't directly refuse, so he said: "There are a lot of things at home these days, and I can't give a direct answer." ”

"I'm not in a hurry, Master can think about it again." After Xiao Zhi finished speaking, he directly asked the shopkeeper to come over to settle the bill, as soon as the bill came out, this meal was a lot of money, Xiao Zhi took the money bag directly, and paid the silver without blinking his eyes, Zhao Huan also had a plan in his heart. This is not fake generosity, this is really not taking money seriously......

As soon as he separated from the two, Xiao Zhi went back to the yamen and chatted for a while, which can be regarded as chatting about some news, the biggest squire in Lihong County is Guo Yuanwai, who is rich and rich, covers the sky with one hand, and can "call brothers" and brothers with the previous county orders.

After returning to the yamen, Xi Hongdou had already asked Rue Xiang to buy some food from the restaurant, but there was no rice, no vegetables and no firewood in the yamen, so he could only deal with it first.

At night, Xi Hongdou felt that his whole body was about to fall apart, and this trip to Lihong County was definitely not simple.

Xiao Zhi also Xi Hongdou said the news he had gotten, Shuobei Prefecture didn't want Hexi Prefecture to be the land of fish and rice, the harvest was poor, and now the biggest business was medicinal materials, and listening to Zhao Huan and Zhou Kuan's words, this medicinal material business happened to be in the hands of Guo Yuanwai.

"The collusion between the squire and the bandits is indeed tricky." Xi Hongdou said, the security here looks fine, and no one has come to sue today, which is what surprised her the most. It's normal if this is a peaceful realm, but is the land of bandits so peaceful?

After a few days, the yamen was finally cleaned up, and the dilapidated yamen gate was also renovated, and it looked less depressed. Xi Hongdou went to read the yamen's income and expenditure ledger, and after reading it, he really wanted to scold.

"You have to pay for all the, and the most important thing is that you don't even have a bookkeeper, so you basically don't need to look at the bills on it!" Xi Hongdou threw the ledger aside as he spoke, and it was useless to look at it.

Xiao Zhi saw that the yamen was in such a mess, so he said, "Let's hold on first." "This time, he also brought money, and the salary of the official will also be paid, and he can only pay out of his own pocket now.

The next day, on the day of the salary, Xiao Zhi had just sent the salary down, and someone directly proposed not to do it.

Xi Hongdou's face was bitter, these officials probably saw that the yamen had a deficit, and now they can take their wages and leave, otherwise they may not be able to get the money next month.

"Let's go." Xiao Zhi didn't force him to stay, people didn't want to stay, and it was useless for him to force it.

Lin Da saw that these people had just taken the money and left, and there was only one head catcher left, so he asked, "Why don't you leave?" ”

"I don't want to go, I'm a martial artist, so I can only do my best." Zhou Kuan felt that his strength to sell coolies was definitely not as good as being an errand in the yamen, and he really couldn't wait until he couldn't pay his salary, wouldn't he still be able to pay his wages now? Just have money.

Xi Hongdou sighed, and said, "Fortunately, we brought someone by ourselves, otherwise we would be really dumbfounded now!" ”

As soon as the four brothers of the Lin family changed, they became depressed.

"Just a few people, if you really talk about ascending to the hall, are there not enough people who shout might?" Xi Hongdou said, isn't this promotion too faceless?

When Zhou Kuan heard this, he smiled directly: "There is no need to worry about this, because there is basically no need to ascend to the court, and no one will sue!" ”

Xiao Zhi frowned, no one complained, what is the use of his county order? Without political achievements, what is he relying on to rise to prominence?

Sure enough, after half a month, everyone was about to grow hair in this yamen, and I didn't see any ordinary people come to complain, and those who didn't know really thought that the security here was good.

"Isn't it a sound of grievances?" Xi Hongdou looked at the green moss on the drum surface before......

Xiao Zhi shook his head: "It shouldn't be, it is estimated that the common people don't want to come to the yamen." After thinking about this matter carefully, he also had a guess, probably because the common people felt that it was useless to sue the officials, or that the previous county commanders could not handle the case fairly because of the lives of the people, so the majesty of the yamen became shit.

"So what should I do?" Xi Hongdou asked, although the yamen is comfortable without official business, but this is a messy life, Xiao Zhi wants to create a world, but he is not here to retire!

Xiao Zhi walked outside the gate of the yamen, took the drum and hammer and knocked it with a bang.

Pedestrians on the street, nearby shops, heard the sound of drumming, and also stuck out their heads to look, this Lihong County's county government drum has not been beaten for a long time, who is so unthinkable, actually want to go to the yamen to complain about grievances? Isn't this a hard time with yourself?

Seeing that there were more and more people watching the excitement, Xiao Zhi also stopped beating the drum, and then said to everyone: "Hello fathers and fellow villagers, I am the new county commander of Lihong County, I have just arrived, and I will also need more help from the villagers in the future, and this county government will be open all day in the future, as long as you have grievances, even if it is the middle of the night, you can also come to beat the drum, and this official will definitely accept it seriously and appeal for everyone!" ”

As soon as everyone saw it, they all blew up the temple, and it turned out that this was a new county order.

"Oh, it's a pity, this is still so young...... a lady said, and the feeling of that words was like Xiao Zhi was going to die young!

At this time, a strong man said: "Who dares to beat the big drum of the yamen, dare to appeal for grievances, not only must be hit by ten big boards first, if there are really grievances, I am afraid that they can be beaten half to death, this is not counted, but also to pay one or two silver grievances to appeal the grievances, it is better not to complain about grievances, but if anyone can live, who will rush to appeal for grievances?" ”

Everyone agreed, sneered at the yamen and the officials, and scolded the sentence "There are no good people in the officials"!

When Xi Hongdou heard it, one tael of silver was indeed excessive, and for ordinary people, one tael of silver was enough for several months' rations.

"Listen to me, as long as you really have grievances, as long as you can hand over the paper, the official will definitely accept it, not only don't you have to be punished, but you don't need to pay a penny, today in front of everyone, I Xiao Zhi, it's hard to chase after a word!" Xiao Zhi also served the previous county orders, no wonder the people don't believe in the yamen, it's really these people who don't do good things, they beat people and collect money, it's simply the shameless accumulation of wealth by the people!

Hearing Xiao Zhi say this, everyone didn't ridicule it, but their expressions didn't believe it, how could an official be so kind?

"And if you can't find someone who can write, you can't write a paper, you can come directly to the yamen, and our yamen will write a paper for everyone!" Xiao Zhi said that the first thing to do now is to let everyone take this step bravely, so that everyone can find the yamen if they have difficulties.

Xi Hongdou looked at Xiao Zhi's bold words, and was very proud in his heart, Xiao Zhi's courageous appearance is really charming!
