Biography of the traitorous officials who dominated the Song Dynasty

Chapter 37 The stunned crowd
At this time, Pang Chunmei was inside the house, desperately chasing Earl Ying.

The two of them were huffing and puffing. Sun Xue'e laughed so hard that she almost lost her breath because Earl Ying was running around the room in embarrassment.

Seeing that she couldn't catch up no matter what, Pang Chunmei's steps became extremely fast.

One of her hands was about to cover Earl Ying's head like a big net.

Suddenly, Lai Wang's urgent voice came from the door: "Second Master Ying, County Magistrate Li is here to see you!"

As soon as these words came out, Earl Ying was stunned on the spot.

Sun Xue'e's expression also changed, she grabbed Lai Wang's hand and asked, "Li Zhixian came to Ying Huazi? What's the reason?"

Lai Wang panted and shook his head back and forth and said, "I really don't know. Anyway, I would like to ask Mr. Ying to go quickly!"

Earl Ying had an ominous premonition in his heart.

Pang Chunmei cursed and said: "Ying Huazi must be out looking for flowers and flirting with good women. Now that the incident has come to light, the magistrate will take him to task!"

Earl Ying's heart tightened and he stepped out of the door. Several of Li Gongji's followers gathered around him.

Earl Ying could see clearly that everyone present, from Ximen Qing to Yingchun and Xiuchun, were all looking at him in great shock.

As soon as Li Gongji saw Count Ying, he immediately felt like he was seeing his biological father and ran over quickly.

Holding Earl Ying's arms tightly with both hands, he grinned widely and said, "Master Ying, I finally see you. Follow me to the county government office quickly!"

Earl Ying was in a daze, so frightened that his eyes seemed to be covered with a thick layer of fog.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to defend himself, the attendant beside Li Gongji sized up the situation and said quickly: "Yes, Mr. Ying! At the moment, you still need to take charge of the overall situation in the county government!"

Ximen Qing, Pang Chunmei and others were shocked when they heard this.

What do you mean?
Count Ying is actually expected to take charge of the overall situation in the county government?

Moreover, Li Zhixian kept answering the register one after another. What happened?
Earl Ying was naturally confused. He looked at Li Gongji and asked, "Zhixian Li, are you right? I'm confused."

With a smile on his face, Li Gongji served Count Ying up and down and said with a smile: "Master Ying, you are a genius in this world for your good writing skills."

"In the past, I was short-sighted and buried your talent! Now I have woken up and am determined to personally help you, Mr. Ying, to take over!"

"Our three-acre land in Qinghe County will completely depend on you, Mr. Ying, from now on!"

Earl Ying frowned. He was really confused when he heard what Li Gongji said.

At this moment, the voice and smile of the short, fat middle-aged man, Mr. Chen, suddenly appeared in his mind.

Earl Ying took a deep breath and secretly shouted in his heart: Yes, yes!This Master Chen is probably a eunuch in the palace!

Otherwise, how can we respond to everything at once?And why did Xu San and all the dignitaries cheer for him?

It is obvious that when Li Gongji saw me, it was like seeing his own father.

It must be this Mr. Chen...ah no!It should be Eunuch Chen!

Mostly...mostly this Eunuch Chen had secretly ordered Li Gongji!

If you don't take advantage of your grandfather's, you're a bastard!
Earl Ying put his hands behind his back and spoke condescendingly to Li Gongji.

"Master Li, in that case, I can only condescend to follow you to the county government office."

As soon as these words came out, Ximen Qing, Pang Chunmei and others were dumbfounded.

Especially Pang Chunmei, she even thought she was dreaming.

After all, the scene that happened before her eyes was so magical that she couldn't believe it.

Li Gongji smiled like a mangy dog, and first ordered someone to bring the horse over.Then he knelt down on one knee, raised his head and said with a trembling smile: "Master Ying, step on your subordinates and go up!"

In full view of everyone, Earl Ying stepped on it.

With this step, all the unwillingness and hardships in the past and present life will be wiped out and turned into nothing.

In the dark, Earl Ying seemed to see the sky opening his eyes that had been closed for thousands of years and giving him a warm smile.

The moon shines on the river waves, the snow swallows the sea, and it dominates the Song Dynasty for thousands of generations.

Earl Ying turned his head abruptly, waved his hands at Ximen Qing, Pang Chunmei and the others, and said with a smile, "My family, I won't accompany you any longer!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Gongji gritted his teeth and stood up slightly, using his own body to lift Earl Ying onto the horse.

Everyone present stared intently at the proud Earl Ying. Every one of them was so shocked that they could not say a word.

Seeing Count Ying riding a horse, Li Gongji held the horse's rope and ran wildly.

He raised his head from time to time, looked at Earl Ying and said with a smile: "Master Ying, this horse is a bloody horse."

"In the first year of Jingguo's founding, Yelu Hongye, King of Xuande of Liao Kingdom, paid tribute to us in the Song Dynasty. From then on, I will give this bloody horse to you!"

As the group of people headed west, Li Gongji's smile gradually melted into the sunset.

Pang Chunmei, the only person in Ximen Qing's house, ran out quickly.

Seeing Earl Ying, he rode his horse westward with great satisfaction.

She clapped her hands hard and said to herself: "Ying...Ying Huako? Am I really not dreaming?"

Earl Ying followed Li Gongji to the county government office. Twenty-eight people, ranging from the county magistrate to the master and the official, stood on both sides of the inner hall.

There are three classes and six offices in the county government office. The specific personnel in these six offices are assigned to correspond to the six central departments.

They are the official, household, ritual, military, punishment, and labor rooms respectively.

The county government office in Qinghe County is used to being relaxed and laid-back on weekdays. Today, almost all relevant personnel were present, making the county government office unique.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that a big shot is going to be here today.

Everyone saw with their own eyes the county magistrate, Li Gongji, who was hunched all the way and greeted Earl Ying with a smile on his face.

All were shocked on the spot.

"Ah? Isn't this Ying Guanghou, the sworn brother of the high official Ximen, who eats and drinks all day long?"

"Why? Is it possible that Ying Huazi has some other origins? Our county government office is so packed with people today, is it to welcome Ying Huazi?"

"How could it be possible? Oh my god! I'm not dreaming!"

Everyone in the county government office was whispering.

He watched eagerly as Li Gongji pulled Earl Ying to the platform.

Li Gongji responded to the earl respectfully and said: "Master Ying, from now on, if you are dissatisfied with any official matters, you can educate your subordinates."

"If a lowly official dares to criticize me at all, it will be considered as violating the laws of nature and human ethics and disregarding the principle of filial piety."

Earl Ying sat down on the platform as the spring breeze blew across his face.

Holding the gavel in his hand, he laughed loudly and said: "Then I would rather be respectful than obey your orders!"

Earl Ying slapped the gavel hard, and everyone present trembled in their hearts.
