Chapter 13 Taking Office
Is it because you can't afford to provoke, so you want to provoke? ! Li Xian didn't even have enough brains. It must be admitted that Li Xian thinks that he is no worse than the people here when it comes to technology; The good thing is that there is self-knowledge.
After thinking for a long time, Li Xian finally gritted his teeth, "Just ask sir to arrange it."
Xu Ren smiled confidently: "Young master, Xu Ren will not disappoint you."
"Yes. Sir, please tell me why I must become the lieutenant of Wuyang City?"
"It's very simple. I just need to talk about the young master to understand. This is Wuyang, the capital of the emperor. The city is full of dignitaries, and there are many relatives of the emperor. In addition, there are crouching tigers, hidden dragons, and old monsters that occasionally jump out of the Jindan period. Nothing unusual.
If such a place wants to be governed, it must not only have the ability, but also have a background, and also have a head of blood, youthful vigor, disbelief in evil, and regardless of the consequences of doing things.
And young master, you are the most suitable. You see, the master is the imperial doctor, and you are young and vigorous. Therefore, it is most suitable for the young master to be the captain. "
"I don't believe in evil, and I don't care about the consequences of doing things..." Li Xian's head was full of black lines, probably because he did things without thinking; "Okay, then I will take up the post tomorrow. It's getting late today."
Xu Ren shook his head: "No, take office overnight! Set off immediately!
If the young master wants to gain prestige, he must start with himself. The yamen will be rectified tonight, and a notice will be posted tomorrow announcing his appointment. "
"good!"
Li Xian is good at this. Although he wants to be lazy in his heart, he is willing to listen to opinions. So, he hurriedly sorted out his things, brought a few servants, and according to Xu Ren's request, he brought some silk, wooden sticks, water and fire sticks, copper sticks, ordinary jasper lamps, and ten boxes of ten thousand taels of silver. He will come in half an hour. to Beicheng District.
"Damn, did you go to the wrong place?" Li Xian looked at the yamen in front of him. Not to mention the collapse of the courtyard wall, even the gate was torn apart; the whole yamen was overgrown with weeds, and birds were chirping cheerfully. Occasionally, a few birds could be seen The little mouse walked past Li Xian in a steady manner.
Li Xian was still surprised, Xu Ren immediately took a step forward, raised his foundation-building cultivation base and shouted loudly, "Where are you?"
There was a clattering sound, startling countless birds, beasts and mice, but no one was seen.
After waiting for a while, an old soldier came tremblingly, followed by a seven or eight-year-old boy, "What's the matter, everyone?"
Li Xian also took a step forward, "Old man, where are the people here?"
"It's all gone."
Li Xian's face was already very ugly: "Didn't you say that there are 30 yamen servants in the yamen?"
"Hey, it's a good thing for young people to be hot-blooded, but you'd better not ask about these things." The old man turned around as he said that.
Li Xian took out the imperial decree, "I am the new captain appointed by His Majesty, and now I order you to tell everything."
"Ah... little old man Xie Jun, this is grandson Xie An. My lord, there have been no Shangguans here ten years ago; the team is taking away all the salaries and dismissing the yamen servants. Little old man has nowhere to go Go, and stay here."
Li Xian's complexion is not to mention how exciting it is, this fairyland is really different, there has been no law and order for ten years.
"You don't need to get angry, it's normal." Xu Ren stopped Li Xian's anger, and turned to look at Xie Jun, "Xie Jun, this is Li Xian, the young son of Doctor Yushi. Now go and call the former yamen servants, Recall one, give you a tael of silver.
Until the end of today's Xu hour (21 o'clock), there will be no waiting. Those who come back will continue to enjoy the original salary and forget the past. If you don't return on time, the law of the country will not tolerate it! "
"Yes, yes. I'll do it right now, little old man." This Xie Jun didn't waste any time. Although he was old, he was still a cultivator in the Qi refining period, and he was stronger than ordinary people.
Xu Ren said: "Master, this is expected. If you can't see it, you will be severely punished according to the law later. Tonight, monks will be hired to help repair the courtyard wall, level the ground, restore the house, etc. and re-announce the regulations and so on."
"Yeah." Li Xian finally walked inside, finally looked at the little boy Xie An who was at a loss, and finally picked up the little guy, "Come on, brother, I'll give you something to play with."
As he spoke, he took off the jade pendant on his body and gave it to the little guy.
"I don't want it. Grandpa said that you can't take other people's things casually." The little guy was very sensible.
"Haha, how could it be someone else's. This is my reward for you. Haha..." Li Xian finally laughed out loud.
"Thank you, big brother, sir."
Big brother, high official... What a childlike title. Li Xian accepted the title happily.
A moment later, Xu Ren found the person responsible for the construction; Li Xian watched the monks repair the yamen, and was deeply moved. After a series of spells, the wall will be restored; at most, it will be beautified with a layer of lime. It is easier to level the ground. A piece of soil will be leveled quickly, and even a bluestone path and a beautiful flower bed will be condensed.
Only the house is a little more troublesome, but only slightly. I saw carpenters working quickly after cultivation, and many pre-installed doors, windows and beams were moved in batches.
Seeing the roof where he was floating to a fixed position with the help of spells, Li Xian smacked his lips continuously, no wonder everyone regards craftsmen as a strange skill, no wonder no one is optimistic about craftsmen; as expected, he still needs to practice. However, I don't believe it!
Before the end of the Xu Dynasty, the house was probably repaired, and the rest was the interior decoration, which would be a waste of time, but the craftsmen also expressed that they would definitely get it done tomorrow morning.
At the end of the Xu Dynasty, Xie An only brought back five people. The five people are: Song Xing, Chen Jinbing, Wang Cong, Yuan Yun, and Yu Chao, all in their thirties.
When the time was up, Li Xian snorted angrily, "Close the door!"
The gate of the yamen is closed. However, when the gate was closed, it was less than a cup of tea, and three more yamen servants came slowly and knocked on the door.
"Don't worry about it," Li Xian said.
Xu Ren has turned into a master, and immediately put forward his opinion: "My lord, it should be like this, tie the three of them together. If you want to stand up, you need someone."
When Li Xian thought about it, he was right, too right; he said immediately: "It makes sense. Song Xing, you five, arrest the three of them, seal up the true energy, and wait for interrogation."
"This..." The five of Song Xing hesitated for a while, the situation seemed to be bad.
"Hmm~~~" Li Xian's tone was low.
The five of Song Xing looked at each other, and finally had to give in, and went out to arrest the three former companions.
Then after Xushi, six more came one after another, which was clearly to show off Li Xian's authority. For such people, Li Xian arrested them all. I waited until the end of the midnight hour (one o'clock in the morning), and finally no one came. Li Xian started the first fire for the new official to take office.
"Xie Jun, how much salary should you have received over the years? Calculate according to the highest."
"Ah..." Li Xian's words made everyone a little surprised. Could it be that money is going to be distributed?
Xie Jun calculated for a long time, and finally gave a number, "My lord, according to the highest calculation, each person owes 220 taels of silver."
"Fill!"
Xu Ren immediately gave 220 taels of silver to each of the 15 people present, including Xie Jun. For a while, everyone was overjoyed.
Li Xian pointed to the little Xie An, "The little guy has been in the yamen for eight years, and he made up 200 taels."
This time Xu Ren swiftly took out 20 ingots and gave them to Xie An. Xie An held the 200 taels of silver and grinned foolishly.
The atmosphere of joy spread in the lobby, and it seemed that the air was full of joy.
But the next moment, Li Xian's face turned cold, "Song Xing, Chen Jinbing, Wang Cong, Yuan Yun, and Yu Chaolie. You arrived at the end of the Xu Dynasty, and the official's words are like a mountain, and the past is not to be blamed. But the rest of you, I will I have to ask.
What is the crime for escaping from the Yamen privately but not reporting it? "
ah……
The rest of those who were tied were dumbfounded.
"Xie Jun, tell me." Li Xianguan's power exploded; a breath of a little overlord broke through the roof.
Xie Jun lowered his head and his voice was slightly hoarse: "My lord, escape for one day and reprimand once. Escape for three days and receive three rods. If you flee for ten days, you will receive fifty rods. If you flee for one month, you will be sent to the army."
