"You're not very lucky. Lin Xiqi said with some emotion after listening.

"I've resigned myself to my fate. Chen Changjie sighed, "But now I have done something for my hometown fathers and fellow villagers." ”

Lin Xiqi nodded, these officials also said.

Chen Changjie still tried to find a way to benefit the people of Sandao County, but unfortunately he was humble and couldn't change too many things.

Lin Xiqi is more optimistic about Chen Changjie, but he will not just listen to the one-sided words of these officials, and after he sends someone to investigate Chen Changjie's details, he may be able to entrust him with a heavy task.

For governing a county, Lin Xiqi has no ideas in his mind, and he has no experience to speak of, his head is empty, and he has nowhere to start.

I need someone like Chen Changjie to help me.

While talking, another person walked in outside, about the same age as Chen Changjie.

The man was full of alcohol, his hair was disheveled, and he had a saber hanging from his waist.

"This is Wang Dong, the king of the head. Chen Changjie hurriedly said, "Wang Zhutou, this is the new magistrate of the county, why don't you hurry over and salute?"

Wang Dong glanced at Lin Xiqi and said, "He is the new magistrate of the county?"

Lin Xiqi's age surprised Wang Dong a little, this is also too young.

"Don't be rude. Chen Changjie sighed lightly.

"Lao Chen, what's rude?" Wang Dong glanced at Lin Xiqi and said lightly, "I still haven't received a few months of silver." ”

Seeing Chen Changjie glaring at him, Wang Dongcai arched his hand casually at Lin Xiqi and said, "Humble Wang Dong, I've seen ...... What's your last name?"

"The official's surname is Lin, and his name is floating. Lin Xiqi didn't care about Wang Dong's attitude.

He was a little surprised in his heart, he was going to replace the head catcher.

Now that he saw Wang Dong, he felt that he might have to think about it.

Wang Dong looked a little disrespectful and unkempt, but he could sense that Wang Dong's strength was not weak, at least the strength at the end of the tiger list.

This kind of strength is just a small county and a fast catch, which is obviously a little weird.

And it's such a remote county, and it's not enough to worry about the monthly money, which is obviously not what a normal person should be.

Wang Dong hid his strength, if it weren't for Lin Xiqi's good strength, ordinary people would not be able to see through Wang Dong's strength.

"I've seen Lord Lin. Wang Dong arched his hand.

Lin Xiqi nodded and said, "Everyone has met today, and the official who owes you money also knows." ”

"My lord, how many months can it be sent this time?" asked the guard of the door, expectantly.

When the new official takes office, he has to give himself some benefits to these old people.

Lin Xiqi glanced at him and said, "What's your name?"

"Little Ma San. Ma San said respectfully.

"In two days, the money owed to you will be paid by the official himself. Lin Xiqi said.

Hearing Lin Xiqi's words, the officials present were overjoyed and hurriedly thanked them.

Wang Dong glanced at Lin Xiqi with some suspicion and said: "My lord, don't enlarge the pigeons, the previous magistrate said that it would be sent every time, what happened in the end, it wasn't so long in arrears?"

"Don't worry, the official does what he says, it's only a few hundred taels. Lin Xiqi said.

Under normal circumstances, the official is three taels of silver per person.

This money is nothing to Lin Xiqi.

"Then let's just wait a few days. Wang Dong nodded and said.

"The officer said something. Lin Xiqi said, "If any of you don't want to stay in the county government now, you will be given a severance pay at that time." ”

"My lord, how many?" asked Ma San.

"One hundred taels at a time. Lin Xiqi said.

The skills of these servants are really average, and Lin Xiqi does not plan to use them again.

One hundred taels is equivalent to the income of a servant for three years, and Lin Xiqi feels that it is enough.

All the officials couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Wang Dong.

Lin Xiqi saw the reaction of these officials, and understood in his heart, it seems that these people are still looking forward to Wang Dong.

"See what I do, you decide for yourselves. Wang Dong glared at a few people and said.

The officials couldn't help but retract their gaze.

"Lord Wang, are you leaving?" asked Ma San.

"I'm too lazy to toss, whether I give money or not, isn't that how it is?" Wang Dong said lightly.

"Then we'll stay too. Ma San said, "What do you think?"

"It's better to stay. The others nodded as well.

Lin Xiqi was really a little surprised, he felt that although he might not all of them leave, most of them would be fine.

There is no comparison between the officials here and those in other places, and there is not much oil and water to be fished at all.

Lin Xiqi glanced at Wang Dong meaningfully, and said, "Okay, in three days, the official will release the arrears of silver, and before that, you do your own thing." I don't want to see anyone sleeping while they're on duty. ”

This was said by Ma San, and Ma San said with some embarrassment on his face: "Yes, the little one doesn't dare." ”

"The past is not to blame. Lin Xiqi said, "Mr. Chen, you should make some rules next, there are no rules,"

"Yes, it's all there, it's just that no one has followed it before. Chen Changjie said.

"We'll talk about it in three days. Lin Xiqi said.

After dispersing, Lin Xiqi contacted Du Fuchong, and now Sandao County is almost his territory, and he still has some eyeliner.

Lin Xiqi asked him to check some things about Wang Dong and Chen Changjie, especially about Wang Dong.

On the third day, Lin Xiqi got the news about the two of them from Du Fuchong's investigation.

Chen Changjie's matter is not much different from what he knows.

And Wang Dong's news is much less.

Judging from Du Fuchong's news, Wang Dong was transferred here from other places ten years ago, and it is said that he offended people.

The specific matter, there is not enough time, and Du Fuchong can't find out.

Du Fuchong also specially mentioned that Wang Dong's previous identity should be related to the secret agents of the imperial court, but it cannot be confirmed yet.

"It seems that it is necessary to talk to Wang Dong. Lin Xiqi thought secretly in his heart.

So before summoning everyone, Lin Xiqi found Wang Dong alone.

After Wang Dong came to Lin Xiqi's study, he asked with some confusion on his face: "My lord, what is the matter with the humble position?"

"Sit. Lin Xiqi smiled faintly and said, "There are some things I want to talk to Wang Zhutou about." ”

Wang Dong didn't know what Lin Xiqi was looking for himself, so he didn't think about it anymore.

After seeing Wang Dong sit down on the chair, Lin Xiqi said: "Wang Zhutou is really condescending here. ”

"Where is the adult. Wang Dong said, "It's just a matter of doing some of your duties." ”

Although Sandao County is dilapidated, and the successive magistrates are not in charge of affairs, the public security is okay.

There is still a credit to Wang Dong in this, and of course there is also Chen Changjie's assistance.

"Can you tell me about your past? Lin Xiqi asked lightly.

"What is the past of the humble position, I have been here all these years, and I have been the head catcher for almost ten years, and it has really been like a day for ten years. Wang Dong smiled.

"What about ten years ago?" Lin Xiqi asked again.

Wang Dong's pupils shrank suddenly, and he stared at Lin Xiqi, wanting to see something from Lin Xiqi's face.
