In Dangyang County, there have been rumors of mountain gods playing drums these days, and even Liu Rui, the county magistrate who was busy with official business in the county government all day, heard about it.

"Yuan Zhutou, everyone in the county town has been spreading the news of the mountain god playing drums these days, do you know the inside story?"

Yuan Mei came back from Elm Bay, and at first there was a fuss, but in a blink of an eye, it was silent, and now that he has been recuperating for a while, the injuries on his body are okay, but the bruises on his face have not yet dissipated, and it looks somewhat funny.

"My lord, they are all ignorant people who spread false rumors, presumably because there are many droughts and thunders in the mountains these days, which disturb the birds and beasts in the forest, and there are many rumors when they are seen."

Since returning to the county seat, Yuan Mei has no plans to go far again.

The world is really sinister, and what happened to Elm Bay made him feel uneasy.

At the beginning, Yuan Mei relied on his identity as a headhunter, although he did not take Yushuwan and Zhao Hengyi in his eyes, but he also decided that the other party did not dare to embarrass him.

After all, in his impression, Zhao Hengyi was a rich man, and the only one he could rely on was the identity of the supplier of Dangyang Bo Courtyard.

With Yuan Mei's reputation as Yuan Mei's skin, it is natural to think that the so-called suppliers are nothing more than being coerced by Song San, the housekeeper of Dangyangbo, and have no choice but to give up high profits and honestly do hard labor to help Dangyangbo make money.

In fact, in the eyes of most uninformed outsiders, Zhao Hengyi and Yushuwan are such an image.

Such a person, Yuan Mei, who thinks that he has a bit of face in Dangyang County, has a strong psychological advantage, and it is impossible to kill him directly, but it is no problem to bully him and embarrass him.

As a result, reality really gave Yuan Mei a resounding slap in the face!

In Elm Bay, he not only became a prisoner, but was also severely tortured, not to mention physical pain, and also suffered a critical attack psychologically!

After being put back to the county seat by the people of Elm Bay, Yuan Mei wanted to take revenge at first, but Song Sansong, the housekeeper, came to the door in person, called a visit, but in fact, it was a scolding and warning!

Only then did Yuan Mei know that Zhao Hengyi was not only a good brother who was like a brother to Uncle Yang, but also Zhao Hengyi himself, who also had the title of baron of Cangwu County!

Things have become terrifying like this, although he is the head catcher of Dangyang County, and he has a little power in the county, but whether it is Dangyang Bo's brother or Cangwu County man, he can't afford to provoke either of these two identities!

Helping the Zhou family plan Yushuwan and Zhao Hengyi is already regarded as offending people to death, according to Yuan Mei's experience, this Dangyang County really can't stay!

With the burning of the ancestral hall of the Zhou family and the news that the old lady Zhou died in a hurry, Yuan Mei's desire to leave Dangyang County became even heavier.

It's a pity that his backer is the son of King Qi, and now King Qi is negligent, causing Yin Su Shenchang of Jiangling Mansion to be assassinated by barbarian spies, and is being frantically whipped by the princes of the court.

Yuan Mei had to stay in Dangyang County honestly, and act in a low-key manner all day long, if it weren't for the county order Liu Rui since his master Huang Xin escaped, he was extremely shrewd and capable, and his style was also aggressive, I am afraid that Yuan Mei would have been sick a long time ago and would have hid at home and would not go out.

"Yuan Zhutou's words are wrong!"

Liu Rui's originally kind expression instantly became stern, "As the head catcher of this county, you don't even investigate the things that are crowded among the people, and you can easily draw arbitrary conclusions, which can be regarded as dereliction of duty, right?"

This official will not punish you, and you will be limited to investigate the matter of the mountain god beating the drum within five days, and if there are any more omissions or false words, he will definitely not give up with you! ”

Yuan Mei was dejected and responded to the errand, and he didn't care about the strange eyes of his colleagues and subordinates, so he inquired about the news in a gloomy manner.

Looking at Yuan Meishuang's eggplant-like back, Liu Rui secretly sneered in his heart, a fool like a dog, relying on the support of the little prince of the Qi family, dared to act recklessly under the rule of this official, and sooner or later he would play himself to death!

When she returned to the back house, Mrs. Liu greeted her with a happy face and helped Liu County Ling Kuanyi change out of her official uniform.

It wasn't until Liu Rui changed into a comfortable home dress that Mrs. Liu opened her mouth happily.

"Master, the letter sent by the senior brother, he seems to be about to recover!"

A hint of joy flashed on Liu Rui's face, and then he scolded: "That old thief is lucky, he only cares about drilling camps all day long, but he doesn't live up to his reputation like a loach!" ”

Senior brother Zhang Qicheng is a great favor to Liu Rui and his wife, but unfortunately because of the white moonlight in the heart of Mrs. Liu, the senior brother, they are tired of each other.

It's just that Liu Xianling's heart is clear, and his master Yu Qingdong was involved in the dispute over the new emperor's accession to the throne during his lifetime, and even after his death, the cases involved are not clear and have no conclusion, but whenever the current official family reigns for one day, his identity as a student of Yu Qingdong is destined to be isolated in the imperial court!

And the only one who can support each other is his senior brother Zhang Qicheng.

It's just that when he thought that the old thief had to choose a woman who was similar to his wife, Liu Rui's anger in his heart couldn't be suppressed!

That old thief is not a son of man!

Mrs. Liu took the letterhead, and Liu County ordered to carefully inspect the fire paint and make sure that it was intact before opening it.

The content of the letterhead made Liu Rui's expression change, and his heart was shocked, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or sad for a while!

"Master, look at the letter like this, what does it say?"

"The old thief...... It's really coming back! ”

"That's a good thing! Let's be happy for our senior brother! After the senior brother recovered, what is the official position? ”

“…… Gangneung Province Yin! ”

"Yikes! Isn't that the official boss's boss? ”

Liu Rui, who was holding a letterhead, only felt that this world was really as magical as a ghost story!

Senior brother Zhang Qicheng rose up and took up the post of Yin of Jiangling Mansion, no matter what Liu Rui said, he was naturally happy for his senior brother in his heart.

But the imperial court ...... To be honest, Liu Rui can't understand this operation!

At the beginning, he and his wife were trapped in Beijing, and they couldn't live all day in fear, and their senior brother Zhang Qicheng was an official outside, which was really fighting for the silver that he didn't want to have, and he was three feet high under the rule, so he made up enough silver to give gifts, so that he and his wife escaped from Beijing, and they could even release a real county order!

For his senior brother Zhang Qicheng's ability to operate, Liu Rui admires it in his heart.

But no matter how much you admire it, you are an official with a bad reputation, who was dismissed because of greed for ink, and in just one or two years, he has risen again, and even promoted to become the governor of Gangneung Mansion...... It's too shocking!

There was a slight mention in the letterhead, Concubine Chen was virtuous, and Liu Rui vaguely grasped that the senior brother had taken refuge in Concubine Chen's faction, but the people in the world who took refuge in Concubine Chen were like carp crossing the river, and the senior brother was ......

can only say that the senior brother will really be an official!
