The yamen was deserted, the yard was overgrown with weeds, and it looked like no one had taken care of it for a long time. But as far as Wen Zhesang knew, after Wang De was escorted back to Beijing, Qingfeng County appointed an acting county magistrate, that is, Qian Ming, the county magistrate of Qingfeng County.

It's a pity that Qian Ming's luck was not good, and after being the acting county magistrate for a month, he fell into the water one night. At that time, it was the coldest time of the year, not to mention falling into the water at night, and when the person was found dead during the day, his body was even more bruised from the cold.

Qingfeng County is also far away from Shangjing, waiting for Qian Ming's death news to be handed over layer by layer, and then handed over to Wen Zhesang, the news took a lot of time back and forth, and Wen Zhesang was already on the way to Qingfeng County.

She is now in the desolate yamen, and when she looks around, she is desolate. And in the desolation, she found a few people, all of whom were also wearing ordinary clothes and carrying knives, and it seemed that they should be Zhao Er's colleagues, that is, Yamen Catcher.

But these catchers are playing dice at this time.

One of the lean men saw that Zhao Er had not responded for a long time, and turned his head to look, Wow! What a big man standing there!

"Where is the little lady, who wants to play with the masters?" The lean man laughed.

The rest of the people also saw Wen Zhesang, and they all laughed.

Wen Zhesang was not annoyed, and asked knowingly: "You are also the fast catcher of the Yamen?" ”

As he spoke, Dongxue and the guards also followed, and a few catchers quickly saw some fierce and vicious guards, and then slowly restrained their smiles. The lean man smiled flatteringly. "Several of us are here to catch fast, the girl looks at the face, isn't it from our county? Did you encounter any difficulties? Father...... The buddies know the county well, and the girl should inform the brothers if she has any difficulties. ”

His face became quick, and he only heard Wen Zhisang whisper: "There is a difficulty, but I don't know if you can do it." ”

The lean man patted his chest, "Of course, girl, just say!" ”

Zhao Er, who had just come back from moving small steps from the door, only felt his scalp tingle when he heard this, and then he heard Wen Zhesang say: "Then please take off your saber and go home." ”

"What do you mean by that?" The lean man dissatisfied.

Wen Zhesang took it for granted: "What's wrong with rectifying the atmosphere of the yamen as a county order?" ”

A few of them were stunned, and then burst into even crazier laughter, and the lean man rubbed the corners of his eyes, "Did I hear me right?" Magistrate? Or a woman? Hahaha, did I hear it wrong or are we crazy? ”

"You heard it right, the Holy One is not crazy." Wen Zhesang's face was completely cold, and he said to the guards, "Take their sabers and throw them out." I also ask you to send them back as soon as possible, since you can't look at them, it's useless to keep them. ”

Several people laughed even more happily when they heard this, but before they could finish laughing, they were dragged out of the yamen by the guards one by one and carried chickens like little chickens.

The door of the yamen was closed again, but this time it was a few former catchers who looked at each other.

Finally, Zhao Er found his voice back, "She...... I read her paperwork, and it was exactly the same as the one Wang De had taken when he took office. ”

Zhao Er's family has some savings for him to study for a few years, so he knows most of the words on the paperwork, and only half of it makes him miserable.

"It can't be!" It was a lean man who spoke, he was ordinary-looking, but with two hanging horned eyes, and looked shrewd and cunning. "How can there be a woman in this world who is an official? Her paperwork must be fake! ”

Few people remember this person's name, and everyone only calls him Ma Sanye. At the beginning, Wang De fell off the horse, and Wang De followed a bunch of fast catchers, master...... In short, those who have anything to do with Wang De are dead.

When Qian Ming served as the temporary county magistrate, the yamen was short of people, so Ma San gathered these people to recommend themselves and went to the yamen to be a catcher. They thought very simply, when they were caught and ate public dinner, and they could still walk sideways in the county, besides, Qian Ming was busy cleaning up Wang De's mess and didn't have time to care about them, such a good thing, why not.

What's more, when Qian Ming died, they were even more relaxed and happy, and they didn't wear any clothes anymore, so they carried a saber to fight in the yamen all day long.

But now they are dumbfounded, they have just enjoyed two or three months, and the good days are gone! Anyone is going crazy.

Zhao Er also hoped that the document was fake, and several people had this idea. But now the fact is that they have been dismissed from their position as a catcher, and the woman with the paperwork swaggers into the yamen.

"Hmph, it doesn't matter if she's true or not, as long as we insist that it's fake, she's fake!" Ma San said.

Someone made a confused voice, "So what do we do now?" Do you really want to return your clothes? If we don't catch it quickly, how can we ...... "rampant in the countryside"?

Everyone understands what is not finished.

Ma San's gaze swept over the faces of several people, and he did not hide his cruelty, "What else can I do?" Of course, it was to tell everyone that there was a fake county order. ”

Several people suddenly realized and hurriedly went to tell the big guy to "be careful".

In the county office, Wen Zhesang asked people to collect the dice on the stone table, and when she came, she thought about the situation in Qingfeng County, but she didn't expect it to be so smoky.

Seeing her frowning, Dongxue hesitated for a while and said tentatively: "Miss, why don't you ...... Shall we write a letter back to the master? You see, the people in the yamen are all like this to you, and don't those people take you even more seriously? Besides, in our Tiansheng Dynasty, there is indeed no precedent for a woman to be an official. You have a long way to go in this trip, if you knew that you should have brought a few more people, how could it be as ...... as you are now"

Wen Zhesang looked at her for a moment and smiled, "I'm not here to have fun. They didn't trust me, so I tried to convince them that if the yamen didn't catch me quickly, they would put up a notice to recruit people from all over the county. Thinking about the harvest before paying, how can there be such a good thing? ”

Dongxue opened her mouth and didn't speak, but she was anxious in her heart. Her young lady was not so gentle and bullied, looking at Beijing, who didn't know that Miss used to be a very flamboyant figure, but since the old lady went, Miss suddenly wanted to be an official wholeheartedly. even did not hesitate to change his temperament, if there was a person like Zhao Er to Miss in the past, he would have suffered a meal of flesh and skin, where could he leave with all his tails?

It's not that she thinks her young lady should be arrogant, but she can't understand why she wants to make herself suffer.

Although the yamen is desolate, but fortunately, Wang De collected a lot of money when he was there, and renovated the yamen, and Wen Zhesang and his party only needed to clean it inside and out if they wanted to live in the yamen.

The master and servant were busy cleaning, and they didn't notice that the wind outside had changed.

Early the next morning, the people of Qingfeng County found that the yamen with the gate closed finally opened, and when they looked inside, the yard was neat and clean, without the hustle and bustle of Ma Sansan and a few people. The yellow weeds were cleared out, leaving only the tender green and soft grass. The peach tree in the corner of the wall was also hung with pink flower bones overnight.

Smoke rises from the backyard, and it is the smoke of the world. Someone walked around outside the yamen and saw the saber guards, and also saw the busy maids. And that rumored fake prefectural order.

Oh, what a woman.

After breakfast, Wen Zhisang went straight to the study, and Dong Xue and another guard, Wen Zhi, followed her, "I'll go write a few notices, and recruit a few catchers to maintain stability in the county." Wen Yan didn't come back last night? ”

Dongxue and Wen Zhi nodded, and then Wen Zhi said: "I came back in the middle of the night, and the man woke up once, and he didn't worry about his life, but the old doctor had to be guarded." ”

Wen Zhesang nodded, the person was seriously injured, and it was normal for the old doctor to be uneasy.

Wrote several notices, and after the ink dried, she handed it to Wen Zhi, "Post it, post it in a crowded place, and then let people guard it, so that no one will make trouble." ”

Yesterday, the faces of Ma San and several people were still wandering in her mind, and she always felt that those people would not swallow their grievances.

Wen Zhi quickly led someone to post the notice, and as Wen Zhesang expected, as soon as the notice came out, there were a few people who took the opportunity to make trouble.

However, Wen Zhisang didn't know those things yet, and she followed Wen Zhi to the hospital after he went out. She came by chance, just when the man woke up, just as Wen Zhisang thought, when those eyes opened, there was indeed a sharp blade-like light.

Now she stood in front of the sickbed, stared at by those eyes for a moment, for a long time, Wen Zhisang broke the silence, "How is your injury?" ”

"I can't die." Xie Yikou snorted twice, without any happiness or fear of immortality, as if he was just suffering from a cold.

Speechless for a while, Wen Zhisang looked at his expression and asked, "Why were you seriously injured that day?" Who are you? ”

Xie Yikou yawned, and Wen Zhesang felt that if his arms and legs weren't moving, he would have to stretch at this time.

"Me? My name is Xie Yikou, I came to see my relatives, I ran into a few mountain bandits, and I got into a fight, and that's it. Who are you? His eyebrows were flying, and he was full of arrogance. Wen Zhesang doesn't look like his savior, but rather a debtor.

Wen Zhesang was helpless: "I am the new county magistrate of Qingfeng County, Wen Zhesang." ”

"Female county magistrate?" Xie Yikou raised his eyebrows, looking fresh, but compared to Zhao Er, Ma San and others, his reaction was actually not big, at least, he didn't say anything sarcastic.

Wen Zhesang nodded, "The former Shangguan Jinrong, the official to the fourth rank of the imperial history, is also a woman. ”

"I don't know who you said." Xie Yikou grinned, pulling the wound at the corner of his mouth, and suddenly grinned in pain. "Since you saved me, I should repay you, but all the money and property on my body have been robbed by the mountain bandits, and I can't read or write, so I'm not bad with my kung fu. Don't you have a guard by your side? ”

Wen Zhesang shook her head, the few guards she brought out were all good hands in the house, and she was safe and secure with them by her side. If you rashly add Xie Yikou in, I'm afraid it will be inappropriate.

But this person looks like he has a fierce spirit, if he can receive a quick arrest from the yamen, it should be enough to deter Zhao Er, Ma San and others.

Thinking of this, she was a little moved: "When I first came to office, there are still a few shortages in the yamen, do you still have relatives in Qingfeng County?" And your injury, do you need to go home and report your safety? ”

Xie Yikou flexed his little finger and scratched his ears, almost forgetting his casual nonsense, "Hmm...... My relatives ...... Two years ago, I was killed by mountain bandits when I went out of the house, and I just learned about it. I still have a few brothers in my family, but it's rare to see them from all over the world. There is no need to bother to report any peace. ”

It was easy to think of some nonsense, and Xie Yikou saw that Wen Zhesang did not suspect it, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
