Chapter 220: Atonement

Liu Xianling was immersed in the mood of reminiscing about his youth, and he heard someone ask.

"Lord Liu, when will the one hundred taels of silver be given to us?"

Liu Xianling suddenly came back to his senses, stared at his round eyes and asked, "What one hundred taels?" ”

The people were taken aback by his fierce appearance, but when it was about a hundred taels of silver, everyone still mustered up the courage to continue.

"You just said it in front of everyone, as long as you can stop the ox cart, you can get a hundred taels of silver, you are a parent official, you can't lie to people!"

Liu Xianling had completely lost the feeling of surging blood at this time.

The rest is only the pain of a hundred taels of silver.

No wonder his predecessors often told him that it was not easy to be an official, and it was even more difficult to be a good official.

Now he knows it firsthand.

When a corrupt official can put a lot of money in his pocket, he is good, not only can he not make money, but he has to put money outside.

He is really not fit to be a good official.

It's better for him to continue to be an officialdom bastard.

When Liu County Ling returned to the county office with people, he learned that King Min had brought people to serve the dens of human traffickers and rescued many abducted women.

Liu Xianling was a fancy rainbow fart on the spot, praising King Min and the Eagle Guards as unprecedented and unprecedented.

Xiao Ti didn't like to listen to these unnutritious touts, and said to him directly.

"You send someone to notify the families of the abducted women and ask them to come to the county office to pick them up."

"Okay, okay, the next official will do it."

Liu Xianling turned around and walked two steps, then stopped.

Xiao Ti raised his eyes and glanced at him: "What else is the matter?" ”

Liu Xianling asked flatteringly.

"What, since the abducted women have been recovered, the lower officials can be regarded as atonement for their crimes, right?"

Xiao Ti had already learned from Yingwei that Liu Xianling was indeed very diligent today, and he even risked his life in order to arrest people, and he behaved very well.

"This king has always rewarded and punished clearly, and since you have made meritorious contributions, this king will not blame you for your past affairs."

Liu County's face was overjoyed, and he was about to thank him.

Then I heard the other party continue.

"But you have to turn over all the foolish cases you have handled before and retry them, and if you dare to judge the case arbitrarily in the future, this king will let the Eagle Guard lead you to the Law Division."

The smile on Liu Xianling's face froze suddenly.

The other party meant this, obviously not ready to let him go.

His plan to continue to be an officialdom bastard came to naught.

Xiao Ti looked at him coldly: "Why don't you speak?" Are you unwilling? ”

How dare Liu County Ling say a word?

He barely squeezed out a smile: "Thank you for mentioning the prince, I will definitely be fair and just in the future, and try not to disappoint the prince." ”

Xiao Ti said lightly: "Eagle Guard's eyeliner is everywhere, I hope you don't disobey the yang." ”

There was a clear threat in these words.

Liu County's heart tightened, and he hurriedly expressed his loyalty.

"Don't worry, the lower officials will definitely do what they say!"

Xiao Ti waved his hand and motioned for the other party to roll.

Liu County's order made a gesture and rolled numbly.

When the people were far away, Yu Xuan walked out from behind the screen.

She asked, puzzled.

"His Royal Highness the County King, since you know that Liu County's order is not a good thing, why do you still let him continue to be an official?"

In her opinion, a guy like Liu County Order, who doesn't treat the people as human beings at all, should be directly dismissed and investigated, so that he can also taste the feeling of being wronged as a common person but having nowhere to appeal.

If it was asked by someone else, Xiao Ti would definitely send it back with a sentence of "Don't inquire about things that have nothing to do with you".

But in the face of Yu Yuan, his patience is surprisingly good.

"Then do you know that there are still many fools like Liu County Ling in the Dayan Dynasty?

Even if this king investigates the Liu County Order today, can you ensure that the next county order sent to Wangsong City will definitely be a good official? ”

Yu Yu was speechless.

Not to mention that she is a small princess of the county, even if she is the emperor, she may not be able to give an accurate answer.

After all, people's hearts are complex.

In the face of the temptation of profit, how many people can keep their original intentions?

The officialdom of the Dayan Dynasty was far more complicated than she imagined.

It is impossible for a single person to keep all the officials upright and honest.

The more I thought about it, the more powerless I felt.

Yu Yuan hung down his little head in frustration, and even the dull hair on his head drooped down.

The whole person looks like a frosted eggplant, wilted.

Xiao Ti reached out and touched her little head, and said softly.

"Liu Xianling does have a lot of problems, no matter how you look at it, he is not a good official, but he is not hopeless.

I have checked his past files, and he likes to be very fond of the mud, and does not want to offend the local squire, and many cases are almost impossible to solve in his hands.

But he has never wronged any innocent people, nor has he looted the people's fat and ointment, let alone oppressed the good people by virtue of his status as a county order.

can not only have a good relationship with the local squire, but also not make any big mistakes.

In a way, he's actually quite capable.

If he can endure this energy on the right path, he will definitely be able to benefit the people. ”

Yu Yuanxuan was still a little unconvinced.

"There was a poor scholar who went to the state capital to sue Liu County Order, but the poor scholar's house was smashed, and in the end, the family was forced to leave their hometown, this matter must have nothing to do with Liu County Order!"

Xiao Ti said unhurriedly.

"I've already sent someone to check, and the matter of the poor scholar really has nothing to do with Liu County's order.

It was a local squire who hired a few ruffians in private in order to curry favor with Liu County, and went to the poor scholar's house every once in a while to make trouble. ”

Yu Yuan was skeptical: "Really? ”

Xiao Ti patiently sorted out her thoughts.

"Think about it yourself, as Liu County's order, if you really want to take revenge on that poor scholar, it's actually very simple.

As long as he finds a reason to cross out the name of the poor scholar when he takes the county examination, the future of the poor scholar will be gone.

Why bother to send people to the poor scholars' homes to make trouble?

Was he afraid that his reputation was not bad enough? ”

Yu Yuan thought about it too.

That Liu Xianling looks like a sleek and sophisticated person, this kind of person is the best at protecting himself, and he will never come clearly when something happens.

In this way, Liu County's order is not hopeless.

Yu Yuan leaned over and hugged his arm, and asked with a blank look.

"Then can you make sure that Liu Xianling will definitely get better?"

Xiao Ti originally planned to reach out for a brush to write a letter, but when she hugged her like this, the matter of writing a letter was temporarily put aside.

He lowered his eyes and looked at the curl and said slowly.

"Let's observe for a while, and if he still doesn't change, then send him to the prison of the Righteous Law Division to sit down, and let him personally feel what it will be like to be an official and not be the master of the people."

Yu Yuan boasted: "His Royal Highness the King of the County is still thoughtful!" ”
