Chapter 25
Zhou Bi's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

This matter really made him miserable, he didn't take any advantage, and he still had to post money from the government office for nothing.

The 2000 taels of silver can be cleared for him, as it is a reward for praying for rain, how can he get the 2000 taels of gold?
At that time, he will have to use his small treasury to fill in the hole. In the current situation, the account will not be filled in a matter of years.

Li Yan, a black hearted person, is still not satisfied.

She is not afraid of being overwhelmed with too much money.

Zhou Bi hurriedly stopped himself.

Li Yan looked relaxed.

Now that things can no longer be seen, she has lived in vain, and there may be some inside story behind it.

If the person behind the scenes refuses to come forward, Zhou Bi will only be unlucky.

The two were in a stalemate, and no one said a word for a while.

In the end, Li Yan sighed, and took the lead to break the deadlock, "My lord, you and I are well aware of the current situation of the counties and counties."

This drought not only brought disaster to the people, but also emptied all the savings in the yamen.

What Zhou Bi said is true, Hejun County is really Qingshui Yamen.

However, as the drought ends, this situation will not last long.

Li Yan said with a grin, "Lord county magistrate, the daughter of the people will not embarrass you. You really can't get so much money in the yamen's account right now. If you don't mind, sir, please give me an IOU first, and the limit is half a year. Wait for the drought." After the end, I believe that the county and the county will resume their interest soon. This money, the adults will make it up for me in half a year, what do you think?"

What else could it be?

Zhou Bi slumped on the chair, not wanting to waste any more words, and directly ordered Wang Fugui, "Give her an IOU."

At this moment, he just wanted to send Li Yan, the plague god, out of the house, and he didn't want to see her innocent smiling face again.

Magistrate Zhou was crying in his heart!
Li Yan pushed forward, "My lord signed it, don't forget to affix your seal."

Zhou Bi was so angry that his liver hurt, "Stamp your seal, and get out of here quickly."

After the matter is over, even if Zhou Bi keeps her, Li Yan is not willing to stay.

After the IOU was stamped with a private seal and fingerprinted, the master and servant left the yamen in good spirits with the deeds of the three bungalows in Rongjie Lane and the IOU issued by Zhou Bi in their arms.

At the end, Li Yan did not forget to turn her head and remind, "My lord, don't be too late for the rain thanks ceremony tomorrow."

It's a good thing to be a good boy, Zhou Bi snarled, "Get out, get out as far as you can."

Soon the little girl's piercing laughter came from the gate of the yamen.

Zhou Bi, "."

Don't let him see her again.

see him once

He, he, he hid once.

Woo woo woo.

Wang Fugui didn't know how to comfort him, it was really difficult for brother-in-law to be the county magistrate.

He really wanted to hug his head and cry with him.

It's so deceitful.

2000 taels of gold, again, was taken away by Li Yankong's glove.

"Brother-in-law, do you think Li Yan's original purpose was for money? Are we being used by her again?"

If this is the case, the brother-in-law will become a big wrong again.

This little girl Li Yan is really scary.

She dared to cheat so blatantly of the county government's money.

It's fine if Wang Fugui doesn't mention it, this mention is to poke Zhou Bi's heart, and Zhou Bi scolded him severely, Wang Fugui is miserable.

Seeing that Zhou Bi was dizzy with Li Yan's anger and forgot about the important people, he quickly pointed to the back hall and reminded him, "Brother-in-law, you can put the fire out first, and you can teach me anytime you want. Don't forget that there are still people in the back hall." The honored guest is here."

Zhou Bi's eyelids twitched, he was really confused, Yaoshou, he forgot about this.

When they arrived at the back hall, the back door was slightly ajar, and the tea was already cold.

With the cold wind blowing, Zhou Bi couldn't help shivering, feeling that what happened today was like a dream.

This heart sometimes goes to heaven and sometimes goes to hell, tossing him to death.

He raised his hand and smacked his cheek, it hurt.

It wasn't a dream.

Zhou Bi's heart was weeping blood, he slumped on the saddle and didn't want to move any more.

Wang Fugui stepped forward to close the back door, and served tea again.

While Zhou Bi was drinking tea, he squeezed his muscles and bones, "Brother-in-law, since the county magistrate of Xingning has already turned up to pay homage to Taoist Fuyun, it's a done deal, so what if Li Yan is a girl? Why give her another 2000 taels of gold?" , this is not a small amount.”

It's about 2000 taels of gold, no matter how beautiful Li Yan is, it's not worth it to Wang Fugui.

Magistrate Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a wry smile, "You think I think, it's not the nobleman's account, and we must handle this matter properly."

"There must be something strange in it. Otherwise, it's a letter from the magistrate and a token from the governor, so why bother so much."

Zhou Bi turned the teacup in his hand, and said, "You were at the side when the case was tried just now, so you should have seen it clearly. The people of the county and county offered Li Yan like a living Bodhisattva, and the matter of praying for rain made a lot of noise. , how many pairs of eyes are open inside and out. We say that Taoist Fuyun is a great hero who prayed for rain, so that is Taoist Fuyun? Have you heard of Taoist Fuyun’s name? We heard from the people in the county ever?"

For the big event of praying for rain, Zhou Bi, the county magistrate, said nothing, and only the people had the final say.

When mentioning Taoist Fuyun, Wang Fugui looked puzzled, "The appearance of Taoist Fuyun is too coincidental."

"Who says it's not. I haven't heard of this person, nor have you heard of him. No one knows about this person. How can I explain to the people and convince the people? It is not easy to live with the counties and counties. Tomorrow If Li Yan used the rain thanks ceremony to cry and make trouble, what should I do if it causes civil disturbances then?"

The counties and counties can no longer stand the turmoil.

Zhou Bi's idea was very simple, "Since Li Yan made the request, she should be accepted. It is not a problem that can be solved with money. I am afraid that she will go crazy, and really confront that Taoist Fuyun to make things worse. If you mess up the nobleman's situation, it will be troublesome."

At that time, if the nobleman is not happy, Liu Zhifu will not spare him.

Wang Fugui couldn't help sighing, hey, why is it so difficult for brother-in-law to be the county magistrate!

"Then the 2000 taels of gold are cheap for Li Yan."

Li Yan's intention was obvious, that is to use chicken feathers as an arrow to try to grab money.

"Then what else can I do?" Zhou Bi was also helpless.

Wang Fugui was thinking about the 2000 taels of golden gold, and he couldn't control the force with which he pressed Zhou Bi's shoulders and hands, and the pressure was too heavy.

Zhou Bi cheated in an instant, "Take it easy."

"Eh."

Wang Fugui's movements were a little slow, but his mind was still focused on money, "But you said so much money, what is she, a little girl, going to do with it?"

In the end it was 2000 taels of gold.

Zhou Bi rolled his eyes, "If I give you 2000 taels, you won't be able to spend it. Even a fool won't think it's too much money."

Pity him for his little salary, he has suffered a lot, and he can't save 2000 taels of gold after working hard for the emperor all his life.

Zhou Bi frowned into Sichuan characters, really heartbroken.

We can only hope that after the drought, the counties and counties can come back to life.

If this matter goes smoothly for him, it means that his ancestors have burnt incense.

The dream of getting promoted and getting rich is never wanted again after Zhou Bi.

Now he just wants to lie down and be a salted fish, let him grow old safely, don't torment him anymore.
