The door of the county government office was closed, Mu Qing stepped forward to pick up the drumsticks, and beat the big drum whose red paint had fallen off.

"Boom, boom, boom..." The sound of the drum was dull.

Not long after, a yamen servant dressed in whitewashed yamen uniform came to open the door. The yamen servant was tall, thin and somewhat dark. He scanned around, and his gaze stayed on Shen Wan and Yun Luochuan for a while, his eyes brightened. It is rare to see such a well-dressed and extraordinary person in Tongyuan County.

"Who plays the drums?" the yamen servant asked.

"It's us." Yun Luochuan took a step forward, pointing to the four gangsters who were still tied behind the carriage, "These four gangsters robbed us on the official road in Tongyuan County, but were captured by our guards and sent here Government."

When the yamen servant heard this, he stared up and down at the gangsters. He didn't expect that these days, they were the ones who disturbed the people in Tongyuan County.

"This is great." He said, "Our county magistrate is also worried about the bandits appearing on the official road, and wants to arrange for us to patrol the official road so that the people can travel with more peace of mind. I never thought that this person would be killed by you Got it."

The two donkeys of the magistrate of the county were bought for nothing. Their yamen was too poor. The only two horses in the yamen.

When Master Ling came, the county government didn't have a penny in the account, but owed the court tens of thousands of taels of tax.

It's not that the previous county magistrate was greedy for ink, but that the tax was not paid, and he owed so much over time.

Their Lord Ling also came from a poor family, he didn't have much money, and horses were too expensive, so he bought two donkeys.

Shen Wan and his party followed the yamen servants into the county yamen. On the court, Ling Yunzhi was wearing a dark blue official uniform and a black gauze hat. He had already sat down and was about to be promoted.

He has been in Tongyuan County for so many days, but he hasn't been promoted a few times, and the trials are all small and trivial cases, and he doesn't know what kind of case will be like today.

The yamen servant and Yun Luochuan walked in front, and stepped into the courtroom first. Ling Yunzhi, who was holding a gavel, saw Brother Yun's family of three suddenly appearing, and the gavel in his hand immediately fell on the table, making a loud noise. .

The four yamen servants standing on both sides of the court quickly lit the ground with water and fire sticks, "Mighty..." But seeing the county magistrate got up, walked around the table and came down, his face was full of surprise.

"Brother Yun, if you want to come, how can someone tell you first? I'm ready." Ling Yunzhi said happily, and then bowed to Shen Wan with his hands together, "I pay my respects to the county magistrate."

Shen Wan smiled and said, "Lord Ling is too polite."

The yamen servants were also surprised, they didn't expect these people to be people their county magistrate knew, and this woman was actually a county magistrate.

He also hurriedly saluted with his own adults.

The people of Tongyuan County who came in to see the magistrate judged the case, saw that the magistrate actually grabbed the woman in the group of gangsters and called her the magistrate, and kept looking at her. This was the first time they had seen each other. To the magistrate.

Because Tongyuan County is located in a remote place, it is relatively closed. The deeds of the Jiangzhou County Lord have not yet spread to this small county.

Ling Yunzhi straightened his waist with a smile on his face, "Brother Yun, you guys are here, let the yamen guard tell me that I'm here to welcome you, why are you hitting the drums back?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the four peasants whose hands were tied together were pushed into the hall.

The yamen servant also rushed to Ling Yunzhi's side and whispered, "My lord, these friends of yours met a group of gangsters who robbed the official road, and sent the gangster uniforms to the Yamen, so they beat the drums."

So that's the case, Ling Yunzhi nodded, thinking that brother Yun and the county magistrate were his lucky stars, and this relieved his headache.
