The old man put the bowl on the ground, "I begged for some broken bones from the pork seller today, you have a good day......

As he spoke, he patted the big yellow dog on the head, "Eat slowly."

The big yellow dog didn't care what the old man said, he had already come up, his whole face buried in the bowl and the smell of the thief he ate, and his tail shook like it was about to fall off.

Leng Tongxiang had a strange expression on his face, "It's called...... Dog officer?"

The old man straightened up and laughed.

"Yes, it's been in the county government since it was a puppy, and it's not going anywhere.

I have to walk around the court every morning, and there is no shortage of a day, but I am much more competent than those county magistrates who are like a marquee."

Leng Tongxiang looked at the dog, and then at the door of the stove, completely speechless.

Later, she learned part of the situation from the old man.

The old man used to work in the back kitchen of the yamen, and the magistrates in the county government came and went, and there were fewer and fewer people left in the county government, and in the end, they were all gone, and he was the only one left.

He has nowhere to go when he is old, so he still has a place to shelter from the wind and rain, so he relies on helping people carry firewood and picking up some leftovers from others to live.

Night.

Lying in the musty room in the back compartment of the county office, Leng Tongxiang had no sleep.

The room was also a mess, with a thick layer of gray on the tables and chairs, cobwebs like weaving, and hanging from the beams in a haphazard manner.

It took her half a day to get the bed out.

The roof tiles, which had fallen into disrepair, leaked through one small hole after another, and the starlight and watery moonlight shone down from them, leaving behind staggered thin pillars of light and mottled spots of light in the dark room.

There was a rustling movement on the other side of the table, accompanied by a few squeaks.

Suddenly, there was a click, and something heavy fell from the table to the ground, and the squeak spread out to the corner in a panic, and after a while, the sound started again, and they all gathered around the table.

Leng Tongxiang took advantage of the few leaky rays of light that came in, and saw that there were a few rats on the ground gnawing on his burden.

She remembered that she still had a little dry food in her baggage.

Forget it, just let them go.

She didn't have the heart to care, she was thinking about how to recruit those bandits so that she could get out of here early.

The bastard of the third master is using the body of the court official to continue to be his thief.

So irrepressibly, all kinds of bloody and cruel pictures emerged and filled my mind.

Under the rain of blood like the wind, Qin Dahai's expression was cold, and his eyes were indifferent.

A few bits of crimson splashed on his fair cheeks, like deliberately lit cinnabar.

And the blood that meandered on the Qingyun Knife didn't know how it took hundreds of thousands of lives to dye it that color......

A man who had always served the country and the people became a greedy and fierce robber, who was only amused by chests full of treasures, and tirelessly pursued the pleasure of plunder......

Thinking of this, Leng Tongxiang sat up suddenly, and the rats on the ground who were gnawing on dry food were frightened by his movement and fled in all directions.

Leng Tongxiang got up and searched all over the room, startled by the rats, insects and ants hiding in the corner of the wall.

I finally took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone that seemed to be usable in a cabinet, walked back to the table, spread the paper on the table, thought while grinding, and then picked up the pen and wrote on the paper......

Notify:

Today, the new magistrate of Yunmian County has arrived, intending to clean up the people's customs, and recruiting officials here to catch a few quickly, and the villagers are invited to run and tell each other.

In the early morning of the next day, a piece of paper was pasted at the entrance of the county government office of Yunmian County in Yunmian Town, and the rolled paper corners fluttered lightly in the wind, making the wall crackle.

The door of the county yamen was pressed back, and the drum of grievances was set up again, although the head of the stone lion at the door was still missing, but there was a bit of a solemn atmosphere that the yamen should have.

It's just that people come and go at the gate of the county ya, some people set up stalls and shout, and some people worry about a few pennies.

Someone pushed a cart and pulled a cow to beat the door.

But no one came forward to look at the notice.

It was as if this piece of paper, along with the county government office behind it, had disappeared out of sight out of thin air.

Leng Tongxiang posted the notice early in the morning, and then waited for someone to come in official uniforms.

But after noon, there was no one to apply, not even the people who worked on a daily basis.

Leng Tongxiang comforted himself, maybe they slept until noon and just got up, maybe someone would come in the afternoon.

In the afternoon, she was bored playing with the torture sticks in the lottery holder with her hands on her face, and the sound echoed in the empty public hall.

No one showed up until sunset.

And Leng Tongxiang, who had been waiting all day, had already fallen asleep on the table.

"Adult ......"

Leng Tongxiang didn't hear it.

"Your Excellency?"

Leng Tongxiang continued to snort, and waved his hand impatiently.

"Your Excellency!"

Leng Tongxiang's head "clicked" on the table, and he woke up in a daze, "What, what's the matter?"

She saw a person standing below in a daze, and suddenly came to her senses, took off her official hat and put it on, stretched out her head and smiled at the corner of her mouth.

"You're here to apply? Do you want to be a servant or a fast catcher? To catch fast, you must be physically strong and have good skills.

This official sees that you are a little thin, it is better to be a servant, Yu Lu is not fast and high, but fortunately, you don't have to run around, and your life is easy."

Leng Tongxiang said a lot to himself, and looked at the person below with anticipation after speaking.

The person below was obviously frightened by her, and reacted stunned, "My lord, I ......."

"Hey...... If you have a request, you are the first to apply, everything is negotiable."

After speaking, he continued to look at the people below with light in his eyes, of course, he was preferential, and after you went back to publicize it, more people came.

The people below were almost shrunk into a ball by Leng Tongxiang, and they lowered their heads and muttered for a long time before they said, "My lord, the grass people are not here to apply......

"What did you say?"

Leng Tongxiang slapped the table with a "snap", which shook the old yellow dog and jumped up, and the person below was also frightened, and the whole person trembled like chaff.

Leng Tongxiang pressed his temples with his hand, and his face sank, "What are you talking about...... Say it again!"

The person below was frightened by Leng Tongxiang's raised voice, and then closed his eyes and replied loudly, "My lord, the grass people are not here to apply, the grass people are here to collect the vegetable money.

The magistrate still owes the villain twenty dollars for food......

The more he spoke, the quieter he became, "The grass people don't know if they should ask the adults for ......."

After saying that, he shuddered.

Leng Tongxiang almost spurted out a mouthful of blood, and his face was very ugly.

After a while, he took out the money bag from his sleeve pocket and poured two taels of silver into the palm of his hand.
