Chapter 16: A Pretending Official?
Bai Luo looked at the eyes of the people around him, waved his hand, and said firmly: "I'm sorry, this is a mistake in my work as a county order, and from today on, Anning County will resume street patrols!" ”
The eyes of the people are full of disbelief, this year, Anning County night theft is rampant, scoundrels are rampant, as long as the sky is dark, if it is not a group, everyone dare not go out alone, I didn't expect this problem to be on the street, was solved by Hu San's question.
Among these people, the most excited is Hu San. He is now being stirred up by scoundrels in a business that is almost impossible to do, and making ends meet is about to become a problem, but he didn't expect to have good luck today, and he got such a good result for the first time in his life.
Hu San knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Bai Luo several times, and said loudly: "Thank you Lord Qingtian, thank you Lord Qingtian." ”
A ragged beggar in the corner of the wall had been quietly watching this scene from the side, and when he saw that Hu San's problem had been solved so quickly and easily, he hesitated to stand up.
I saw that the beggar was still holding a child in his hand, about six years old, skinny, dressed in tattered clothes, with dirty feet and no shoes.
After standing in place and thinking for a while, his face showed a determined look, pulled the child, pushed through the crowd, squeezed into front of Bai Luo and knelt down and said: "My lord, we are displaced people who lost our homes after the last Western Turkic invasion, begging every day for a living, but last winter, we had no shelter, no food, and many people starved to death. ”
The beggar took the child to his knees, put down the stick and the broken bowl, and kowtowed to the "knock knock".
Bai Luo hurriedly stepped forward, ignoring the dirtiness of the two of them, supported the two of them with both hands, and said gently: "Get up quickly, I know, after 7 days, you come to the gate of the county government, and I will definitely give you an explanation." ”
The beggar looked at Bai Luo in disbelief, and a fire of hope appeared in his eyes: "I...... Do we really have to be in charge? We...... We are outcasts, not your people. ”
He couldn't speak clearly with excitement, and the little beggar next to him nervously pulled the big beggar's clothes, and looked at the good-looking and gentle official in front of him with frightened eyes.
"Since you live in Anning County, you are the people under my rule, I should take care of them together, you get up first." Bai Luo's subordinates worked hard, but his body was very delicate, and he couldn't help him up.
It was Jiang Xin who came over to help, and then he helped the big beggar and the little beggar who were already ecstatic and didn't know how to be good.
The onlookers finally reacted and applauded.
In the carriage parked on the corner, a cold voice "huh", slender fingers lifted the curtain of the carriage.
After the curtain was lifted through the narrow slit, a handsome face was revealed, under a thick eyebrow, dense and long eyelashes covered a pair of bright eyes, the bridge of the nose was straight, the lips were thin, and the chin was warm, making the side face handsome.
was originally a gentle, handsome, and humble gentleman, but because of a wrinkle in the center of his eyebrows, he added three points of gloomy color, which made his whole person depressed and resolute.
It was Liu Zhiran, who had just arrived in Anning County.
He looked at the scene in front of him, a sneering and indifferent smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he muttered mockingly: "Unexpectedly, when I arrived in Anning County, I actually saw a Qingtian lord." ”
He looked at the beautiful county magistrate Bai Luo in the crowd, and watched her love the people like a son talking to the people, the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more sarcastic, he snorted coldly, and lowered the curtain boringly.
Bai Luo saw that the people around him were getting more and more around, and at this time, noon had passed, and if he dragged it on, he was afraid that he would delay the autopsy during the day, and he had an idea, and remembered his father's mayor's reception day on the 1st of every month.
Then he said loudly to the people around him: "Today, the official still has a business trip, and the presentation will end here." From tomorrow, on the fifteenth day of each month, the official will receive the people at the gate of the yamen, and the people under the rule can come to tell me if they have any requirements or opinions on the county government. ”
When the surrounding people heard this, they all raised a burst of cheers and applauded more enthusiastically, of course, some of them looked at the scene in front of them in disbelief and did not cheer with everyone.
After Bai Luo Tuan bowed to everyone, he didn't delay any longer, and took Uncle Miao, Jiang Xin and other county officials to walk towards the abandoned house where Li Tiegen was parked.
The people were all smiling and consciously made way for Bai Luo and his party.
Jiang Xin and the others have never enjoyed this kind of treatment loved by the people since they were on an errand in the county government, and they were honored one by one, and their backs were straight behind Lord Bai Luo and walked out of the crowd.
Until Bai Luo and his party had already walked far away from the crowd, there were still people applauding their backs.
Bai Luo didn't dare to look back, she had official business, she was afraid that as soon as she turned back, the people would follow, but she sighed in her heart, the people of Anning County were so simple, they just did a little bit of their duty, they were so grateful to Dade, they supported the yamen and the court from the heart.
With such a group of lovely people, what reason do you have not to govern Anning County well?
Watching Bai Luo and his party slowly walk away, Hua Qian turned around and asked the adults in the carriage, "My lord, where are we going now?" ”
"Get out of the car and follow along." Liu Zhiran said coldly, he wants to see if this "clean official" who loves the people like a son is so conscientious and conscientious in a place where no one is around?
Liu Zhiran lifted the curtain and walked out of the carriage, Hua Qian hurriedly jumped down and stretched out his hand to help.
Standing under a tree not far from Han Cong with a horse, he saw his adult get out of the car, but he was still bored touching his horse and didn't get close.
Hua Qian helped Liu Zhiran get out of the car, and gestured quietly.
Han Cong secretly bent his thumb, got on the horse, and went in the direction of Bai Luo.
The corner was not far away, and after walking for a long time, several people saw the abandoned house, and when they walked in, they saw that even the wall had fallen halfway inside, and the roof tiles were only less than half left.
Outside the house is the bustling street, but the inside of the house separated by a wall is a decadent and silent.
On the other side of the room, where there were still some tiles, there was a male corpse on a straw mat, and in the far corner next to it was a man huddled in a ball, breathing deep and long, sleeping soundly.
Bai Luo looked at Jiang Xin suspiciously, Jiang Xin and He Sanhe Si were still immersed in the glory of being respected and loved by the people just now, and their faces were not only respectful to Bai Luo, but also had more respect.
Jiang Xin saw Bai Luo looking at him, and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed his hand and said, "My lord, this is a newly promoted work after your arrival, Ding Yi, he was here to guard the corpse last night." ”
