One night, Yun Yuhong looked at the deserted streets, and occasionally passed by and saw the people who quickly avoided them, but her heart was very interested in the prefect who was in charge of this mansion, looking at the fat official who looked at Duanmu Tianzi with squinting eyes, Yun Yuhong asked: "This prefect doesn't know what his surname is, will it be very fierce?" ”

The fat servant said with a smile: "Don't worry, our Governor Liu is not fierce at all, he is an adult who came from Moyun, and he is serious about his work, and when someone from your family confirms your identity and pays the deposit, you can go back." ”

"Margin? What is that, do you big man want to receive a gift? Duanmu Tianzi asked.

The fat official was dissatisfied and said: "What kind of gift, that is a deposit, to ensure that you have no problems, if you do not provoke and make trouble after a month, it will still be returned to you, our lord is a clean official, and he will not accept any gifts." ”

Yun Yuhong said with a smile: "But one of us is a weak woman, the other is a pregnant woman, we took a look in the city, nothing happened, we have determined that there is no trouble, why do we have to pay a deposit?" ”

The fat servant sneered: "Woman? The ghost king is also a woman, can that be underestimated? Besides, if you don't make trouble today, maybe you're just here to pick up a little bit, and then come back in two days to make trouble, only you know this, and we don't dare to be careless. ”

"Then you can guarantee that we won't make trouble if you collect the deposit? What does this margin guarantee? ”

"If you make trouble, we will confiscate the security deposit, and I don't think anyone will be able to get along with the money."

Saying that, a few people came to the front of the government office, and the fat government officer led a few people inside and explained a few words to the people and left, Yun Yuhong saw a row of people standing at the door of the lobby, and there were tables and chairs on the left to sit on the master of the government office, many people paid money over there, and then got a list, and people could leave.

Walked up and took a look, the list was a receipt, written that someone received a deposit of one or two, ten days later, if there is no illegal behavior, it can be returned, but if you do not come to collect it within three days, it will be deemed to be automatically abandoned, and the deposit will be owned by the public. Yun Yuhong raised her eyebrows, and finally understood what this margin was all about.

An old man on the side who had just finished handing over the silver sighed and walked out the door, Yun Yuhong asked, "Old man, what's wrong with you, what are you sighing for?" Won't the money be returned in a few days? ”

The old man glanced at Yun Yuhong, and said in a low voice: "I haven't returned what I paid last time, but I handed it over again this time, I just do a small business, I have to come out every day, how can I feed a big family if I don't come out, this is good, every time I come out, I have to pay a tael of silver, and I can't live my life." ”

A person on the side also came up and said: "Don't expect to go back again after you pay the money, as long as you come out, you have to pay the money, but if you don't come in three days, you won't go back, so ah, you should buy a lesson, go back and stay honestly, try not to go out, and when you go out, you have to hide a little when you see people in the yamen." ”

"Then what if I don't have the money and can't pay this deposit?" Duanmu Tianzi asked.

"There are two options, one is to stay in prison, and the other is to be dragged to the quarry to work as a coolie and earn enough security to leave."

"But we are women, and we have a pregnant girl, what should we do if we can't do coolies?"

"Don't worry, they don't arrest ordinary women, they probably found you because you have a little money at home. Alas, the world of this Moyun country is too dark, and we don't know how to live in the future. ”

Yun Yuhong sneered and nodded, these officials are not only unrepentant, but also dissatisfied in their hearts, and then they change the law to do things, let them maintain law and order, and there can be no problems, they must do it, and they do it very well, you order me to do it, but I will not let the people feel that you are good, you have to be stable, I will not only give you stability, I will also give you peace. I don't embezzle, but I won't give up looting the people, I won't take the money, the money will go to the public, and in the same way, you will have to bear the infamy.

Yun Yuhong was tired of walking, looked at the master, and it was very unpleasant, walked over and pulled someone up from the chair and threw it to the door of the hall, sat on the chair himself, and said to a few officials who were about to rush over on the side: "Go and invite your Liu Governor out and let him come to see me, and say that the ghost king has arrived." ”

The officials didn't believe it, how could the ghost king come here, how could the ghost king be her delicate appearance, who believed it, they still rushed up and wanted to take people, but their bodies hadn't touched Yun Yuhong's body, and the laughing grass behind Yun Yuhong knocked these people down in a few clicks, and people looked at Yun Yuhong in amazement, and they all opened their mouths in shock, looking at this frame, this is really the ghost king?

Xiaocao didn't expect those officials to report the news, she walked into the lobby by herself, and after a while, she brought out a white and chubby adult wearing official clothes.

This Lord Liu did come from the capital, and as soon as he saw Yun Yuhong, he exclaimed: "Ghost King, Ghost King spare your life, Ghost King spare your life!" ”

Yun Yuhong sneered: "You are Lord Liu, tell me what you have done to spare my life?" ”

Lord Liu was stunned for a moment, quickly calmed down, knelt down and said: "Meet the ghost king, the lower officials don't know what they did wrong to make the ghost king angry, so they sent someone in to arrest the ghost king, and asked the ghost king to make it clear." ”

Yun Yuhong looked at him and smiled: "It's nothing, I was called to pay the deposit today, but I'm not very satisfied with the plan to pay the deposit, I want to ask Lord Liu, what if this king can't pay the deposit, is it possible to stay in prison for a few days?" ”

Lord Liu sweated, and hurriedly replied: "Of course this can't, how can the ghost king make trouble." The lower officials didn't dare to accept the deposit of the ghost king. ”

Yun Yuhong shook her head and said, "Don't, Lord Liu is still the same, you don't accept mine, and don't accept these ordinary people, so it's fair." But I'm curious, I can tell Bai Xiangye about this deposit, who came up with this method, I'm afraid you can't decide it yet. ”

The sweat on Lord Liu's head became even more fierce, and he said that this method was not good, but everyone didn't want Bai Xiangye and the ghost king to live in peace, and they didn't dare to provoke them, so they came to the dark, but who knew that they would be caught by the ghost king, and now that the ghost king asked, he really didn't know how to answer for a while.

Yun Yuhong looked at the people of Zeyu who were watching the excitement on the side, suppressed the anger, and said with a smile: "You don't have to pay the money today, and after you go back, you will also convey it, those who have paid the money have come to the yamen to retreat, and they should go to the street to make way in the future, they should do business, how they lived in the past, how they live now, rest assured, no one dares to arrest people again." ”

When the people heard this, they were very happy, and they all stepped forward to thank them, and then they were sent out of the yamen.

Yun Yuhong asked the master to be responsible for returning the money, and then took Governor Liu back to the palace.

Bai Ziyu soon learned the news, and specially came to the gate of the palace to greet Yun Yuhong, Yun Yuhong told the matter again, pulled Bai Ziyu's hand and said, "You have worked hard these days." I don't care about these government affairs, but I still have to say a few things that I should say, and tomorrow I will gather all the people transferred from Moyun, and I will say a few words. ”

Bai Ziyu nodded, indeed, although Qianzong gave the will that he had full authority to handle Zeyu's affairs, but he didn't send him some capable people over, let alone any other support, some people, some things are really not something he can afford alone, at least some things are not as clear and straightforward as Yun Yuhong.

Early the next morning, Yun Yuhong went to the hall to participate in the court meeting, and among the people who came, there were not only Mo Yunlai's ministers, but also representatives of Zeyu's family and nobles.

After everyone saluted, Yun Yuhong walked down from a high place, came to Minister Moyun and said: "I know, you are very unhappy that I transferred you to Zeyu, and there is resistance in your heart, it doesn't matter, I may let you go back to Moyun, but there are some things I want to explain." It was my decision to transfer you here, and why I let you come is because I want to give you a chance, you are begging people to give gifts in Beijing, forming gangs, don't you just want to seek opportunities to go further, but I absolutely do not allow you to be promoted just because you are relatives of some people, or you can be promoted to a higher level just because you are a relative of some people, or if you want to be promoted, you must rely on your ability, rely on your political achievements, and be promoted honestly. ”

After looking at some people who bowed their heads and were silent, Yun Yuhong continued: "But I gave the opportunity, and your ability Xiangye also saw it, to be honest, it's not good, so I'm not going to use you, I'll go back to Moyun tomorrow, of course, it's not easy to say if your original position is suitable for you, so let's go back and wait for us to return to Beijing before appointing." ”

All the ministers knelt down when they heard this, Yun Yuhong said it well, but in fact, what is the difference between it and the officials who dismissed them, the ghost king is in the Moyun court, and they all know the influence in the heart of Qianzong, as long as the ghost king does not speak, absolutely no one dares to use them anymore.

A minister distinguished: "Ghost King, what did the ministers do wrong, we did our best when we arrived in Zeyu, and we didn't dare to be lazy for a moment." ”

Yun Yuhong smiled: "You have indeed done a lot, and it can't be said that you are wrong or anything, I only said that your ability is limited and you have not achieved the results I want." Know in your hearts that if you had done wrong, you would not have spoken to me like this, and you would have been beheaded long ago. There are some things I don't say, and you know in your hearts that there are too many small movements, and I don't like them. ”

The minister didn't want to let it go, and was still arguing: "Ghost King, if you want to dismiss our officials, you must always give us an explanation." ”

Yun Yuhong touched her stomach and said with a smile: "Are you sure you want to listen, aren't you afraid that after I finish speaking, you won't even have a way to live, are you sure you don't want to discuss it with them?" ”
