The myth of crossing the heavens

Chapter 13
If it was an ordinary person who ran into the county government like this, the head catcher would have told him to get out of here.

Or even grab people.

I'm giving you shame, I don't know the majesty of the county government!
Yi Qingchen patted Linghu Chong on the shoulder and exchanged custody tasks with him.

Then he cupped his hands to the catcher and said: "Brother, our brothers were appointed by the grandfather to destroy the Tiger Village in the disaster town. Now we have sent all the bandits in the Tiger Village and the head of the bandit leader Tian Cheng. Please come and check it."

Linghu Chong rolled his eyes, secretly saying that Junior Brother's nonsense was getting more and more untruthful.

"Ah this..."

The head catcher and his subordinates looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a while.

They had heard about banditry in Huayin County recently, but the scope of looting was limited to the countryside, and those who suffered were mud legs.

Except for a few small landlords who were affected by rent collection and complained, no one came to the county magistrate to make a fuss.

Therefore, the grandfather didn't take it seriously at all, and it was even more impossible to send someone to exterminate the bandits.

The head catcher couldn't figure out the way to do this, so he hesitated for a while.

Yi Qingchen frowned: "It's a great achievement to wipe out the bandits. Wouldn't it be a bad thing for you guys to go late and delay Grandpa's big event?"

The headhunter woke up like a dream, and hurried back to inform the county magistrate.

He couldn't figure it out, so he pushed the matter to the grandfather.

After a while, the county magistrate in official robes walked out of the county office.

Yi Qingchen looked at the magistrate, seeing his pale face and frivolous demeanor, he couldn't help shaking his head secretly.

The head of a county actually looks like this, let alone whether he has the conscience to be an official, I'm afraid he doesn't even have the ability to be an official.

The magistrate raised his chin slightly, turned his nostrils up, and said softly, "Who took the bandits?"

"Grandfather, we are disciples of the Huashan School. The bandits in Tiger Village plundered the people and poisoned the people. Now we have captured them all. Please forgive me."

Yi Qingchen said in a serious manner, and punched down the long sword vigorously.

The internal strength surged overnight, and after being poured into the scabbard, it sank into the stone slab.

"What are you going to do?"

The magistrate was startled, and was about to back away in panic.

Yi Qingchen let him back away to call for someone, and grabbed his arm, leaned towards him and said in a low voice: "Grandpa, exterminating a gang of bandits is not a small political achievement, don't you want it?"

The county magistrate collected himself, and also lowered his voice: "You just give it to me for nothing?"

"of course not."

Yi Qingchen smiled and said: "Our brothers don't have much use for these bandits. If the adults don't want us, we can only find a ravine and bury them."

Since the magistrate is willing to come out, he has already made up his mind.

It's just that he didn't expect the visitor to be so vicious, and even planned to kill all the 20 people in private.

This is a desperado!
His heart beat wildly, and he secretly scolded Yi Qingchen as a rude warrior who disregarded the law.

Scolding is scolding, fear is fear.

Officials are also afraid of violence.

The magistrate was suffocated, and waved his hand to drive away the fast-moving yamen servants who came forward.

He was still suspicious, and asked, "How do I know if these people are bandits?"

"I'll bring people from several villages to be witnesses, and your lord will know after the first trial."

Yi Qingchen said: "I'm asking for trouble if I send living people to my grandfather and then make a deceit. After all, my lord is an official of the imperial court. I still want to establish a good relationship with my lord. As long as my lord cooperates and accumulates more achievements in eliminating thieves and reassuring the people, I will return to you." Are you afraid you won't be able to get promoted?"

The county magistrate's eyes lit up, and he said solemnly: "Young hero is so righteous, the yamen will definitely reward you."

"Silver reward!"

Yi Qingchen had a friendly negotiation with the county magistrate, and finally gave more than 50 bandits and a bunch of heads to the county government at the price of 20 taels of silver.

The county magistrate highly praised the Huashan faction's righteous deeds, and encouraged Yi Qingchen and Linghu Chong to continue to make contributions to the court.

Linghu Chong couldn't help but haha.

He is a pure Jianghu person, and he doesn't care about the affairs of the court at all.

I don't even want to deal with the court.

The two distributed the reward silver to the villagers who came to testify, two taels each, and spent 20 taels of silver.

Then he went to the livestock market and sold the four horses for another 40 taels of silver.

But for Yi Qingchen, the biggest gain today is not money.

As it was getting late, Yi Qingchen and Linghu Chong appeared in front of the Cuihong Building with a big swagger.

Linghu Chong didn't intend to come, Huashan's gate rules are strict, and his disciples are not allowed to enter the Goulan brothel, although he is brave, he dare not break the gate rules.

But Yi Qingchen needed him to testify that he hadn't entered the brothel, so he pulled him over forcefully.

This is the busiest time for Cuihonglou, and there is an endless stream of guests coming and going.

Yi Qingchen and Linghu Chong stopped at the door, blocking the door tightly.

Seeing this, the guys hurried up to greet him with smiles all over their faces.

"Among the two gentlemen, please, is there any girl you know?"

Yi Qingchen nailed her legs in front of the door, never taking a step inside.

"We're looking for Miss Qingqing, please ask her to come out and see her."

"Hey, the girls in our building don't go out, they all have to meet in the boudoir, don't they?"

The waiter laughed and said: "Miss Qingqing is our signature here, and she only picks up guests in the room. We have good food and wine here, why don't you two young masters go upstairs to enjoy it?"

boom.

Yi Qingchen plunged the sheathed long sword into the ground, and said flatly: "I want to see Miss Qingqing, if I have anything to ask."

The guy's face turned pale, he took a few steps back, and shouted: "Sister Cui, Sister Cui, someone is here to make trouble."

Yi Qingchen didn't stop him from yelling, the old god stood still.

Linghu Chong's face turned red, and he wished he could get into the cracks in the ground.

Soon a gorgeously dressed and painted woman came to the door surrounded by the guys, looked at Yi Qingchen's eyes, and her eyes shone brightly.

The woman was about 30 years old, charming and coquettish, and said softly: "Oh, the two young masters are really handsome. The boys have blind eyes and offended the young master. I will apologize to the young master for them. The food and drink are ready. Please move upstairs, the young master. Let Qingqing and Minglan accompany, they are the best in our building."

Yi Qingchen had a cold face: "Restricted by the gate rules, I'm not allowed to enter the place of fireworks, please invite Miss Qingqing out, I'll leave as soon as I understand the matter."

The woman pretended to be puzzled: "But the rules in our building don't allow girls to go out..."

While speaking, the woman winked at the clerk, and the clerk retreated into the building calmly.

Yi Qingchen looked at the woman coldly: "How much money do you earn a day?"

The woman was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "This is a business secret of the slave family, you can't tell outsiders, if you want to..."

"Miss Qingqing, if you come out one day late, you will lose one day of money, and if you come out two days late, you will lose two days of money."

Yi Qingchen said lightly: "Now you can consider whether to let her out."

The woman was suffocated, and her eyes fell on the long sword in Yi Qingchen's hands.

Linghu Chong leaned over to Yi Qingchen and said: "Junior brother, we are bullying the weak like this, right? In the future, if Master finds out that it won't work, he will beat you."

"I wanted to invite you with kind words, but I didn't intend to do anything."

Yi Qingchen said: "Later on, if Miss Qingqing really has a jade token, I will buy it with money, and I will never ask for it empty-handed."

Linghu Chong curled his lips, his junior knew clearly that this was not what he was referring to.

Isn't blocking the door a bully?
