After the imperial examinations, I grew up by farming

Chapter 32
"I found it, I found it, and the official seal and official hat are all there."

"It seems that it is God's will for me to take over Nanli County. Hurry up, bring me the official hat, let me see if it suits me."

Zhao Yuhai came out holding the official seal with a smile on his face, followed by the civil servants wearing official hats and uniforms, Xu Zhuang secretly glanced at his son who was putting on airs.

As for acting, I will obey his young master.

Ning Yu rolled up her eyelids, and adjusted the angle of the black hat with the help of peripheral vision.

Putting on the official hat, twisting the official uniform with two fingers to check, smelling it, and smelling a faint sour smell.

With disgust written all over his face, Ning Yu pointed to one of the civil servants and said:
"You, take this set of official uniforms to Jinxiu Pavilion, and ask them to make two new sets according to my size and send them to Xu Mansion. Two sets are not enough, so make five sets and tell them to rush to work. I will wear them in three days."

The imperial court issues a new set of official uniforms every three years, and at the same time recycles the old uniforms. A set of clothes is worn for three years, and the time is not up, and they will not be replaced when they are worn out. Therefore, there are nine out of ten officials They all change and wash their official uniforms in private, and the top ones also turn a blind eye.

But it's one thing to come secretly, another thing to do it blatantly.

"Master Xu, privately made official uniforms, this..."

The civil official was in a dilemma, so he looked to Zhao Yuhai for help, and counted on Zhao Yuhai, his uncle, to persuade him.

"I'll take care of it if something happens." Ning Yu made a final decision.

Officials are all fake, so it's nothing to make official uniforms.

Speaking of it, I have to thank Li Tan, who is greedy for life and afraid of death, for watching Li Zhixian. If it weren't for him, she would not know that official uniforms can be made privately, let alone Jinxiu Pavilion. All official uniforms come from Jinxiu Pavilion.

The clerk stepped aside with his official uniform.

Ning Yu sat back on the county magistrate's special chair and gave lectures as usual.

It is nothing more than the replacement of the old and the new, and the current situation is turbulent. I hope everyone will work together to maintain the peace of one side.

"...Okay, let's get back."

After the training, Ning Yu waved people away, what to do, and ordered people to accept Li Xiaoying's complaint.

Li Xiaoying followed the two guards to the torture room, passed by the entrance of the lobby, deliberately slowed down, pretended to be miserable, and saw the magistrate wearing an official hat and casual clothes, his feet limp and collapsed land.

Zhao Yuhai was soft-hearted, and hurried out to help Li Xiaoying up, "Miss Li, are you okay?"

"Master Xie Qingtian, I'm fine, but my legs are a little numb after standing for a long time, it will be fine slowly, I just feel sorry for the little ones at home, if I have something good or bad..."

Thinking of the little ones, Li Xiaoying's expression was gloomy and desperate.

Zhao Yuhai had read the certificate and knew that Li Xiaoying was a widow and her parents-in-law had just died, so she could understand her worries, so she let go immediately, "Wait a minute, let me ask the county magistrate if he can be accommodating."

"Thank you, Master Qingtian! Thank you, Master Qingtian!"

Li Xiaoying was grateful, thanked her again and again, and bent her knees as if to kneel, but Zhao Yuhai held her back because she moved too slowly.

Zhao Yuhai pleaded with Ning Yu for Li Xiaoying.

"Madam Li has been exposed to the sun for more than five hours, without a single grain of rice. Under severe punishment, I'm afraid...I saw a few young children yesterday. They are really too young. Without their parents to help them, I'm afraid..."

"Snapped!"

Ning Yu patted the certificate on the desk again, and said with a serious face:

"The state has state laws, and the family has family rules. If I set a precedent for her today, and another Mrs. Liu will come tomorrow, and Mrs. Chen will come the next day, shouldn't I also be lenient?"

"But she..." Zhao Yuhai glanced at the crumbling Li Xiaoying.

Ning Yu stared at Li Xiaoying sharply, "Come here, pass on a doctor for this lady Li."

Ning Yu's voice was not low, and people outside the lobby could hear clearly even without Zhao Yuhai's message.

"Miss Li, let's go." The guard urged.

Li Xiaoying looked at Ning Yu, his gaze collided with sparks, and his heart was at war with heaven and man. Unexpectedly, the newly appointed Wen Ruo County Magistrate is actually a hard-hearted man with iron-blooded wrists, which is not easy to handle.

Forget it, take a gamble, if it doesn't work, come back and face the board.

"My lord, I have something related to my lord's success in official career, please forgive me."

Hearing this, Ning Yu slightly hooked his lips.

If I had known that this Li Xiaoying had the guts to make a false accusation, she would never be obedient to the board, lo and behold, the fox's tail was exposed, let's see what other tricks she has.

"Oh? It's related to my official career, so let her in."

After Li Xiaoying entered, Ning Yu said again: "Tell me, what skills do you have?"

"My lord, please take a look at this." Xiaoying took out two small cloth bags and opened them in front of Ning Yu.

Ning Yu's eyes froze, he stood up abruptly, and ordered all the people in the room to leave.

Two handfuls of dried paddy.

A handful of grains are uneven and shriveled, similar to what Xu Fu eats every day.

A handful of grains are huge and full, one grain is worth five or six grains in the market, and it is a circle larger than the largest grains of rice in the current market.

"You planted this?" Ning Yu pointed to a small pile of better quality rice.

"Yes."

Ning Yu picked up a grain from the pile with full grains and chewed it carefully. The rice aroma was full and the powder was fine. Then he picked grains from the other pile that were slightly better in appearance and bit them open. The difference was too much. .

Ning Yu calmed down and sat down again, tapped the complaint twice with her fingers, signaling to Li Xiaoying to talk about the complaint.

"My lord, I've been standing all morning and all morning, can I have a drink first?" Li Xiaoying swallowed dryly.

"Heh, you are quite courageous." Ning Yu scolded lightly, but there was no anger on his face, but he pushed forward the half tea cup he had drunk, "Drink it."

The so-called difference between men and women, native-born ancients, even ignorant village women who can't read big characters, also understand the truth that men and women cannot overcome the defense.

Such good rice is hard to find in this world.

This Li Xiaoying, she wanted to see if it was a human or a ghost.

"Thank you, sir." Li Xiaoying picked up the cup of tea and drank it, then opened her mouth slightly and let out a sigh of satisfaction, completely oblivious to the inappropriateness of Ning Yu's gradually deepening smile.

"I planted these rice last year. I made a total of eleven buckets and three liters. During the Chinese New Year, I ate two liters and kept the rest as rice seeds."

"A few days ago, Master Xu Er knew from nowhere that my family had good rice seeds. He led people to rush into the night to grab the rice seeds. He also saw that he wanted to do something wrong to me. My father-in-law was beaten to death on the spot to protect me. Afterwards, three huts in my house were burned down."

"..."

"The grievances of my in-laws need to be avenged, but more importantly, these few days are the time to sow rice and raise rice seedlings. Rice seeds have been my hard work for three years. Only in my hands can I grow good seedlings and grow good millet. Let others ruin it and there will be no more."

After listening to Li Xiaoying's words, Ning Yu took another look at Li Xiaoying.

Such an appearance... At best, he wasn't ugly, even if his second uncle's eyes were gouged out, he might not like it.

He also talked about burglary, arson and murder. The second uncle did do it when he was young, but it was a time when he was short of food and clothing, and the other party tied his mother. As a son, it would be strange if he didn't kill, but with the status and wealth of the Xu family today, Is it worth killing for two bags of rice seeds?
"How can you be sure it's Master Xu Er?"

The night is dark and the wind is high, the lights are dim, and it is not impossible to recognize the wrong person.

Of course... pretending to be a person is not difficult.

"After I escaped, I hid on the opposite slope of the mountain road. I heard the people at the bottom call him Mr. Xu Er, and he mentioned the richest man in the county in his words. I went to guard the gate of Xu's mansion and saw Mr. Xu Er. Similar to the gangsters of the night."

Ning Yu fell into deep thought.

For a knowledgeable person, the value of these two sacks of rice seed is far from being measurable in money.

Her second uncle doesn't understand, but there are people in the Xu clan who understand, and quite a few.

After going through the whole process twice in his mind, Ning Yu had an idea in his mind, and said to Li Xiaoying: "You go back, the class will open tomorrow afternoon, and I will give you justice."

Li Xiaoying ordered another cup of tea, and strode out of the yamen after drinking.

After a while, he ran back to the yamen again, stretched his head out of the Yimen, and asked loudly, "My lord, what's your last name?"

Ning Yu was arranging for someone to collect evidence when he suddenly heard the news and his head froze.

"My lord's surname is Xu." A policeman replied.

"Master Xu."

Li Xiaoying shouted, retracted her head and ran out of the yamen.
