Bring some shock to the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 54

"The Jinyiwei you brought, he, he..."

After swallowing his saliva, Li Kuan held Zhou Li's hand tightly. For the first time, this county magistrate, who had always been calm and impeccable in his work, showed a "fearful" look on his face:

"He's sick, he's sick!"

Li Kuan himself is not greedy, but it doesn't mean he doesn't understand the world.So when he learned that the two Jin Yiwei were going to his house, he took six taels of silver and prepared to give it to the other party to show his sincerity.Standing at the gate of the government office, Li Kuan looked at the young man and the middle-aged Jin Yiwei, and greeted him with a smile on his face.

Then···
"You are a dignified county magistrate, but you still have patches on your body. How can you be decent?"

Looking at Li Kuan, who was sewn with patches at the hem of his robe, Qianhu frowned, and scolded: "The magistrate is a ninth-rank official conferred by the imperial court. He enjoys the spirit of dragon and tiger. Why do you see me bowing my eyebrows and kneeling? What is your majesty? "

What about your mother?
Li Kuan almost burst out with a confiscated swearing.

I, a ninth-rank sesame official, am playing prestige with you, Jinyiwei, a thousand households?Why don't you let the emperor Lao Deng come over and kowtow to me?Anyway, it's the crime of killing the whole family, I might as well play some big fun before I die.

"Your Excellency Qianhu was just joking. I'm just a county magistrate of the ninth rank, with an eighty-year-old mother and a three-year-old child. The family's expenses are not small, and the salary is barely enough, so I don't care much about these minor details."

What Li Kuan said was impeccable, he can be said to be the best of the best.Then, under Li Kuan's shocked gaze, Qianhu took out ten taels of silver.

"Then you should prepare your outfit properly, and don't let other people think that I, a Ming official, have to wear patched clothes, which will damage your dignity."

Tremblingly, Li Kuan took out ten taels of silver, looked at Zhou Li, and said with tears in his eyes:

"Brother Zhou Li, this is the first time in my life that I have received money from Jinyiwei. I am still a member of a thousand households. I am afraid. The money is all here and I don't dare to spend it. I don't dare to spend a single copper."

Zhou Li was silent, Tang Wan scratched his cheek, while Tao Yao looked a little weird, as if holding back a smile.

Then, Li Kuan tearfully told about all the extremely weird behaviors of the thousand households.What about "I see that there is something missing in your county government, I will carry two pieces of wood to repair it", "Your chair legs are a bit loose, I will tighten it for you", "I will buy a bucket of paint and paint the wall, so that the people will not see your majesty" "I'll teach you how to write notices and announce them to the people." "Stupid, don't you know how to grind? I'll do it!"

It's not scary anymore.

This is torture.

It's psychological pressure.

You know, what the normal Jin Yiwei said is "You can have two more beds in your ancestral grave", "Your legs are a bit hard, let me see if I can get a discount", "I'll buy some gold juice and pour it into your mouth, look "Can you explain?" "I will teach you if 180 acupuncture points on the human body are shocked with electricity, will the person become incontinent and die?"

The ghost knows if this thousand households are talking nonsense. Li Kuan is afraid that this smiling Jin Yiwei will hack himself to death kindly after all this is done, and then hang his head on the newly repaired beam, and use his own The county government was re-stained with blood, and finally he was charged with "if guilty" on the notice and publicly displayed to the public.

My life is over!

Seeing Li Kuan's frightened expression and thinking about Qian Hu's behavior, Zhou Li shuddered directly, while Tang Wan couldn't even eat, squatting aside with a pale face, wanting to vomit but stopping.

Taoyao had already turned her back to Zhou Li and the others, her fragrant shoulders trembled slightly, and her sweet laughter like a silver bell flowed out from between her fingers.

"This···"

Zhou Li didn't know how to comfort the other party for a while. After a short silence, he sighed and said to Li Kuan who was looking forward to it:

"Let's go, I'll go with you."

"Well, well, well, well, well."

Li Kuan nodded his head like garlic, and hurriedly praised him, wishing he could run back to the county government office with Zhou Li on his back.

Tang Wan on the side had put away the bowls and chopsticks and soaked them in water.Just as she was about to ask, she heard Zhou Li say to her:
"You come with me."

"clear."

Mi Chong, who tried to wash the dishes, glanced regretfully at the bowls and chopsticks in the pool, and then obediently followed behind Zhou Li.After they greeted Tao Yao, they left together.

Seeing the back of Zhou Li and others leaving, Taoyao's eyes as warm as bright jade narrowed slightly, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

The county government office in Beiliang is located in the east of the city. The location is not remote, but it is not central either.Since Li Kuan didn't like luxury, the county government office had no decorations since the abacus case was cleared, leaving only an empty lobby.

However, in the county government office at this time, a man with a naked upper body and a bright red brocade coat tied around his waist like a belt was enthusiastically carrying wood and repairing various objects in the county government office.But on that resolute and generous face with Chinese characters, there are only the simple smiles and perseverance of the working people.

Looking at the eye-catching scene in front of her, Tang Wan's face turned pale. However, in order not to waste the delicious food she finally got, she swallowed her saliva and turned her head away, not wanting to watch anymore.

"Don't tell me, it's quite decent."

Seeing Qian Hu jumping up carrying a hundred kilograms of wood, casually split the wood in half and embedded it in the hole in the roof, Zhou Li said in wonder:

"This skill is really good."

"Little brother Zhouli, help me quickly."

Like an ant on a hot pot, Li Kuan hurriedly said:
"The Jin Yiwei from other places helped me repair the county government. If word gets out, what will the people think of me? What will the Ministry of Revenue think of me? What will the prefect think of me? What if I really get promoted?"

In fact, Zhou Li could also tell that what Li Kuan was afraid of was not that the other party would help him build the county government office, but mainly because he was afraid that Li Kuan's grave would be the next one to be repaired after the county government office was completed.After all, the three words Jinyiwei are placed in the officialdom, that is, digging ditches for dry toilets-to die.

Uh uh.

The corner of Zhou Li's mouth twitched. After feeling that this Beiliang is really an outstanding person, Zhou Li stepped forward, patted Qian Hu on the shoulder, and said:

"Master Qianhu, are you repairing the house? Where is Guo Baihu?"

"Oh, little friend Zhouli."

After seeing Zhou Li, Qianhu's smile became brighter,
"Master Li Kuan and I will repair this county government office. Alas, I also blamed Lord Li Kuan. It's not that he didn't do anything, but he couldn't do anything. The county government office in Beiliang City is really too poor, and even the notices sold by the court I couldn’t even afford the paper, and I thought it would be detrimental to the dignity of the Ming Dynasty, so I gave Guo Baihu a few taels of silver and asked him to buy notice paper.”

After finishing speaking, Qianhu patted the sawdust on his hands, and smiled at Li Kuan who was beside him.Li Kuan looked tremblingly at Zhou Li and Tang Wanxiang, asking for help.

"That's how he is."

Zhou Li patted Li Kuan on the shoulder and comforted him:

"Please understand, Qianhu is the Holy Mother... the holy man's disease. The main symptom of the disease is that he likes to help others, and he takes the oath of Jin Yiwei seriously. There is no malice, and there is really no malice."

With a bitter smile, Li Kuan breathed a sigh of relief after learning that the Jin Yiwei didn't want to give him the last supper, and said helplessly to Zhou Li:
"Little brother Zhouli, you surprised me by coming back suddenly, and even gave me such a surprise, you, you."

"Report to your lord."

Just after the misunderstanding was resolved, the familiar defenders suddenly rushed in.Li Kuan quickly supported the other party, and asked:
"What's going on? Why are you so panicked?"

"At the city gate, there is another Jinyiwei."

After taking a deep breath, the soldier looked at the curious Qianhu with a strange expression on his face, then he looked at Li Kuan, and said:
"That Jinyiwei has a sharp-eared monkey cheek and a thin body. He shouted at the city gate to enter the city. He said he was a Jinyiwei, but he didn't have a waist badge. It was very weird."

"Have you asked his name?"

Facing Li Kuan's inquiry, the soldier took a deep breath, and after thinking for a moment, he quickly said: "I asked, I asked, he said his surname is Hou, and his name is..."

"Hou Jue!"
