Chapter Thirty-Four: Seeking an Official 【Part 2】
Du Yi and Xiaomin followed the servant who led them through the backyard to the living room, and immediately saw a person sitting in the living room. This person was thin, with sunken eye sockets, and his face was sallow. At first glance, he looked like he had overindulged in sex.
He's an embryo, but his face is very serious, and his splendid clothes have a bit of an official air!
"Caomin Wang Qiliang has met Mr. Zhizhou!" After saying this, he bowed and showed a look of fear on his face. As for Xiao Min, this girl was a little more reserved. It's not surprising that she had never seen such a big official!
Chang Yuan looked at the frightened expressions of the two people and felt very satisfied. However, these two ordinary people did not kneel down. She couldn't help but frown. When she glanced at the two lacquered red boxes, her eyes lit up.
As for whether to kneel or not, I don’t care anymore!
"Wang Qiliang, this name is a bit interesting. Why did you come to see me?"
Du Yi despised Chang Yuan in his heart. He stared at the lacquered red box after saying this. He was obviously a greedy man. However, Du Yi still pretended to be flattering and said: "Sir, I am the Dongchao Tianzhou Mansion.
Because my family's business was hit, I owed a large sum of money, but unfortunately my family didn't have much money anymore and couldn't repay it at all. My parents were imprisoned, and my brother and sister had no choice but to escape for their lives, all the way to Changming.
I learned that the magistrate of the state loves his people as much as his children, and that he loves his people more than the blue sky. I think I have some talent and learning, and I want to get an official position in a county under your authority. Please grant me your permission!"
Chang Yuan's expression changed. What he thought was a fat sheep turned out to be a refugee child of a run-down family. He couldn't help but secretly cursed the bad luck. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Du Yi lifting two mahogany boxes one after another!
In one of the mahogany boxes is a golden bull, the size of a head, with a cowherd boy riding on the golden bull. The carving is lifelike and very pleasing!
Another mahogany box contained a string of pearl beads as big as a thumb. Chang Yuan's eyes suddenly widened, and her words were choked in her throat just as she was about to open her mouth!
Although Chang Yuan is a bad person, he is born into a famous family, and his knowledge is not bad. Both items are considered to be of high quality. Needless to say, the gold bull is priceless, and the carving is lifelike. It is naturally from the hands of a master, and its value is immeasurable.
, and that string of pearl beads, each one is plump and round, is obviously a high-quality product from the Gale Country, and its value is no longer lower than that of a golden ox!
Chang Yuan looked at the two items and was no longer calm. She eagerly stepped forward and touched the two items with her hands, exclaiming in admiration!
A subtle sneer appeared at the corner of Du Yi's lips, cursing secretly that this guy is really ugly, and he doesn't even know how to behave in a coquettish way. I really don't know what's wrong with the current emperor's head, to give this guy a fat job!
For a moment, Chang Yuan also realized that she was a little too embarrassed. She put down the items in her hands and sat back down with a calm face, but she couldn't hide the joy in her eyes!
"Well, seven taels, your gift is not light. I can't let you down. Shangyuan County is short of a county magistrate. How about you go to Shangyuan County and take office in three days!"
Du Yi hurriedly bowed and saluted again. Chang Yuan smiled slightly and helped Du Yi up, then said: "Qiliang, this Shangyuan County is one of the largest counties under our rule. The public security is a bit chaotic. After Qiliang takes office, the decision will be made."
You must work diligently and don’t live up to my expectations of you!”
Du Yi looked very grateful, and after some compliments, he told Zhizhou Changyuan his address, and then he said goodbye and left!
Chang Yuan looked at Du Yi's leaving figure, with a greedy smile on his lips, and then cast his gaze into the two mahogany boxes, exclaiming in amazement!
Du Yi naturally looked down upon the gift given to Chang Yuan. He had a lot of it in his Qiankun bag, and it was not something Du Yi could appreciate at all. Naturally, he didn't feel bad at all when giving it away!
Three days passed in a blink of an eye. That night, a handsome servant knocked on the door of Du Yi's room. It was the servant who guarded the door of the state capital!
Du Yi was very polite. After all, he might be needed in the future, so he would not offend him, so as not to be embarrassed in front of him in the future. When you offend a gentleman, you should not offend a villain. This is the principle!
The servant was naturally very happy with Du Yi's courtesy. He gave his official certificate to Du Yi and received five taels of silver before leaving. He was even more beautiful!
"Brother, why did you give him so much money?" After Xiao Min finished speaking, she looked longingly at the retreating figure of the boy downstairs!
"Haha, I didn't expect you girl to be a money addict!" After saying this, he patted Xiao Min's head lovingly!
"We are not short of money. There are many ways to get money. Those big bad guys are our pocketbooks!"
Xiao Min lowered her head in embarrassment, her face flushed!
Du Yi couldn't help but laugh when he saw it. After playing around for a while, he went back to his room to practice!
Early in the morning of the next day, Du Yi took Xiao Min's hand and walked onto the street. He hired a carriage and headed to Shangyuan County, which is 70 miles east. In Du Yi's opinion, the 70-mile road was not considered a big deal.
If Du Yi and Du Yi rode horses, it would only take two or three hours. But now that Du Yi is the king, pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger is the way to go. The carriage was galloping along the way, not too fast. As the evening approached, two
Talents arrived in Shangyuan County.
Shangyuan County is different from other counties in Changming Prefecture. It is remote and close to Luanqian Prefecture and Yuanming Prefecture. It can be regarded as an area with no control. Of course, Changming Prefecture does not have the ability to control it even if it wants to. In addition, Chang Yuan has been in office for several years.
In 2008, Shangyuan County was not cared about at all, which led to even more chaos in Shangyuan County. After Du Yi entered the county seat, he saw hundreds of people fighting together, with dozens of people killed and injured. It can be imagined that this place
of chaos!
Du Yi didn't care about this. After all, he had just arrived in a place, and his identity had also changed. Some things should not be too obvious. It was better to take a tour of the county and understand the situation here!
This knowledge surprised Du Yi. Two county magistrates died unexpectedly in Shangyuan County within one year. The first magistrate was still frustrated and wanted to manage the place well, but within three days, he was
The man was strangled to death in the backyard of the county government office, his eyes were gouged out, and his death was extremely tragic!
The second county magistrate was unambitious and very greedy. He knew that this county was definitely beyond his ability to govern, so he also joined the team of making money. However, in the end, due to greed, the benefits were unevenly distributed and he was attacked by the group.
, only stayed on the throne of the county magistrate for three months, and then died of inexplicable poisoning!
But Du Yi, who wanted to make a name for himself in this area with his astonishing force, was not a matter of easy access, so he was surprised, but it also aroused his ambition!
Under the afterglow, Du Yi took Xiao Min's hand and came to the county government office. At this moment, the county government office was in a dilapidated state. It was far different from the state government government office. It was not even as good as ordinary residential buildings. The only thing better than the residents' gate was
It’s just big enough, the rest is useless!
"Is this a Yamen?" Du Yi was extremely depressed!
After knocking on the door, the door fell down with a clang. Du Yi was startled and thought someone was attacking him, so he quickly made a defensive posture. The little girl next to him heard a noise and was so frightened that he hid in Du Yi's back.
Behind Yi, his little head slowly stretched out to see what was going on!
But then Du Yi and Xiao Min were stunned. The gate of the county government office was in a dilapidated state, but the scene inside made Du Yi unforgettable for a long time. It was still a county government office here, but the inside was dilapidated. Above the lobby
The high-hanging mirror has become crooked, and the killing sticks on both sides are scattered on the ground. What's even more exaggerated is that half of the red tiles of the county government office are missing, and the weeds are half as tall as a person!
"Brother, is this really the county government office?"
Du Yi touched his head, his eyes full of doubts and confusion. He didn't know how to answer the little girl's words!
"anyone there?"
When Du Yi shouted, he actually called out an old man. The old man was dressed in tatters, his hair was messy, and his beard was already tangled. He was no different from a beggar. Du Yi was very surprised and doubted this old man.
Is he really a beggar?
"Who are you looking for?"
"Uncle, is this the county government office?"
After hearing this, the old man looked at Du Yi and then pointed to the broken drums on both sides of the gate and said: "This is the county government, isn't it playing drums? If you complain, you can beat the drums, but not today, it will take a few days, and the county will be here in a few days
Grandpa has taken office."
Du Yi almost choked to death, calmed down and said gently this time: "Oh, that's right, I am the newly appointed county magistrate, I don't know who you are, old man?"
Chapter completed!
