Lin Xiqi rubbed his head and said, "Isn't it for Senior Brother?"

Seeing that Renjiang wanted to knock himself again, Lin Xiqi hurriedly shouted: "Okay, okay, I won't say it." I didn't expect the Red Flame Sect to put its posture so low, it was really different from the quicksand gate. ”

"The quicksand gate has been too inflated lately. Ren Jiang said, "With the support of the Seven Star Sect, I am a little unscrupulous. ”

Lin Xiqi nodded, now that the quicksand gate is gradually gaining the upper hand, the Chiyan Sect is now almost suppressed in Dunhuang City, and other places are basically untouchable.

There are too many people who have fallen into the well, and the power of the quicksand gate has soared.

"Senior brother, let's quickly integrate the forces on the territory, as long as there is a chance, let the quicksand gate have a good drink. Lin Xiqi said.

He didn't have a crush on Quicksand Gate at all.

"Eat and sleep again, sleep and eat, you're going to be lazy. Lin Xiqi returned to the Sifang Inn, rubbed Xiaohu's head fiercely and said.

Xiaohu let out a low roar with sleepy eyes, turned over and continued to sleep.

In fact, Lin Xiqi knew that Xiaohu was not lazy at all, and he usually practiced in his dreams at night.

If he performs the Dream Yan Divine Skill, Xiaohu will stay by his side and will be able to enter the dream realm.

Otherwise, it will also take the Dream Pill on its own and practice in its dreams.

Four days later, Du Fu rushed to find Lin Xiqi, who was still holding a small square wooden box in his hand.

"Done?" Lin Xiqi asked.

"Young Master, this is the official seal!" Du Fuchong said as he handed the small wooden box to Lin Xiqi.

Lin Xiqi hurriedly took a look, and sure enough, it was the official seal of the magistrate of Sandao County.

"So I'm the magistrate of Sandao County?" Lin Xiqi still felt a little weird, so he became an official?

"Yes. Du Fuchong smiled and said, "The county guard mansion is also dark enough, and then the old slave spent a million taels to complete it." ”

Lin Xiqi frowned and said, "There are so many more, what's the trouble?"

"Some people also want to get this county location. Du Fuchong said, "Later, the old slave inquired, it was someone from the Liushamen, and they wanted to drive a nail in Sandao County. ”

"It's quicksand again. Lin Xiqi said lightly, "I didn't expect the county guard mansion to not give face to the quicksand gate, don't they know that the quicksand gate has the support of the Seven Star Sect?"

"It's not that the county guard doesn't give face to the quicksand gate, but the old slave's bid is much higher than that of the quicksand gate. Du Fuchong said.

Lin Xiqi nodded, still understanding in his heart.

The county guard mansion is subordinate to the imperial court, and even if the quicksand gate replaces the Chiyan faction, it is unlikely that the county guard mansion will be the same.

As long as the county watchman has money to make, it doesn't matter who it is.

"I'm going to take office tomorrow. Lin Xiqi said.

"Do you need to arrange people?" Du Fuchong asked.

"Not for now, I'll go check the situation first. Lin Xiqi said.

The county government of Sandao County is in Sandao City.

A day later, Lin Xiqi appeared in the county seat of Sandao County with Xiaohu.

The county seat of these three counties is very dilapidated, and the city walls have collapsed and have not been repaired for many years.

Seeing such a situation, Lin Xiqi still understood in his heart.

Each county governor is generally five years, and after five years, if there are no accidents, they can be transferred to other places.

All the magistrates who came here to take up their posts thought that they could leave after five years, so they had no intention of repairing the city wall.

Especially the emperor of Dunhuang County is far away, and the power of the Seven Star Sect is very strong, and as an official government, it is not much to provoke the people in the rivers and lakes here, and these officials want to survive five years in peace.

Lin Xiqi inquired and came to the county office.

The county government was also in tatters, and a government official leaned against the gate and fell asleep.

"It sucks. Lin Xiqi thought secretly in his heart, "Looking at the appearance of this officer, he is definitely like this." ”

Lin Xiqi stepped forward and kicked the official awake.

"Who? who is looking for death?" the official was still a little confused, he was woken up, and he hadn't kicked it yet, and he was in a very bad mood, so he couldn't help shouting.

After a while, he came to his senses and saw a teenager standing in front of him.

Looking at the other party's dress, it is not an ordinary person.

The official suppressed his temper and asked, "What's the matter with you......?"

Before he finished speaking, Lin Xiqi went directly into the county office.

Soon came to the county hall, Lin Xiqi looked at the dilapidated houses, and was also a little speechless.

"Go, call all the people from the county government, and the official will give a lecture!" Lin Xiqi said lightly.

This official originally wanted to drive people away, but after hearing Lin Xiqi's words, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"Are you~~ Are you the new magistrate?" the official reacted and asked.

Lin Xiqi lit up the official seal and said, "See?"

The official hurriedly nodded and said, "The little one will go and call someone immediately." ”

Although this adult is a little younger, the official seal should be real.

Even if you don't know each other, when Mr. Chen comes over, you can tell the truth from the fake.

After a while, a few people came in.

Most of them were servants, only one was dressed as a scribe in his forties, and he took a closer look at Lin Xiqi's official seal.

"I've seen my lord!" the scribe bowed to Lin Xiqi and said, this is to confirm that Lin Xiqi is really the county master.

"Are you the master here?" asked Lin Xiqi.

"No, student Chen Changjie, from Sandao County. The master said, "Every county magistrate will bring his own master, and the small one is generally to help deal with the affairs of the county government, and it has been more than 20 years." ”

Lin Xiqi heard the meaning of his words, Chen Changjie was not a person who was appointed as the magistrate of the county, but a local.

And it's been here for more than 20 years, and it's obviously not very important.

But he's a local, and with more than two decades of experience, he's hoping to be reused.

Generally speaking, the inaugural magistrate will bring his own master, but he doesn't bring anyone.

Probably this made Chen Changjie a little excited.

"Everyone has arrived, right? Tell me about the situation of the county government?" asked Lin Xiqi as he sat on a chair.

"If you go back to your lordship, you will be left with Wang Dong and Wang Tou yet. Chen Changjie said.

"Let's talk about the situation first. Lin Xiqi waved his hand.

He doesn't care whether Wang Zhutou or Zhang Zhutou will all be replaced when the time comes.

So, Chen Changjie reported the personnel in the county government and Lin Xiqi.

There are no other civil officials in the county government except Chen Changjie, and there are no county officials, master books or the like.

There are really not many people who will come here to work.

There were a total of twelve servants, including the king of Wang Dong who did not come.

In normal counties, there are at least hundreds of officials.

Some of the larger counties may have a little more.

learned from Chen Changjie that the county had owed the officials more than half a year's worth of silver.

Here, the officials had nothing to fish, and in the end, most of them couldn't do it anymore and left one after another, leaving only a dozen or so officials.

The people in the rivers and lakes outside are stronger than them, and they don't pay attention to them at all.

And the county magistrate only cares about his own benefits, and he doesn't bother to pay attention to the rest.

The arrears of the silver are a matter for the imperial court, and it is impossible for the county magistrate to pay out of his own pocket.

At that time, the county magistrate raised a group of cronies to protect his safety, and as for these officials, they were left to fend for themselves.

"Mr. Chen should be famous, right?" Lin Xiqi asked after listening.

"Lift people. Chen Changjie said.

"Sir, Mr. Chen, that is a prodigy in our Sandao County and even Liangzhou. A servant hurriedly shouted.

"Nonsense. Chen Changjie snorted.

"Tell me, I'm interested. Lin Xiqi said with a smile.

This official then told Lin Xiqi about Chen Changjie in the city.

Chen Changjie was selected as a talent at the age of ten, and as a prodigy at the age of thirteen, he deserved his name as a prodigy.

It's a pity that he was unlucky, when he was fifteen years old, he offended the children of the eunuchs when he went to Beijing to take the exam, was framed, and was implicated in the cheating case in the examination room that year.

Later, there was no conclusive evidence, and the sentence was not given.

But Chen Changjie was also banned from the exam for life, and finally had to return to his hometown, and then he got a job in the county government office for his livelihood.

In addition to the fact that the previous magistrates have their own masters, they will not really reuse a person with a stain on their body.

Even if this incident is unsubstantiated, it has had a huge impact on Chen Changjie's life.

No matter how ambitious Chen Changjie is, he will not be able to realize his ideals.
