"County Magistrate Li, you are finally here, but you have to let me, an old man, wait here!"
Yang Wenxiu, the magistrate of Mingxian County, was here to be a guest with Li De.
"It's been a long time since Magistrate Yang came to welcome him in person. It's someone's fault. Let's apologize to Magistrate Yang here first."
Li Dejiang bowed before he spoke, and Magistrate Yang had nothing to be embarrassed about. He was already older than Li Dejiang, so it was appropriate for an elder to receive a bow from a younger person.
Just after Li Dejiao bowed his luggage, Magistrate Yang pointed behind Li Dejiao, "I wonder who is behind Magistrate Li?"
No matter what he is doing, wearing armor always makes people scared.
"Oh? Them?"
Li Dejiang turned around and pointed out, "This is the escort arranged by my father. They should go back to resume their duties after I have established a foothold in Ming County."
"I see."
Magistrate Yang nodded here, "You brave men must be in the army?"
"Exactly!"
Although Li Dejiang knew that Magistrate Yang was lying here, he still said a few words to him. He was indeed a member of the army, which exposed their identity.
At this moment, Yang Wenxiu finally felt relieved.
"Since you are in the army, there is no problem in wearing iron armor. Otherwise, according to the laws of this dynasty, hiding armor privately is a serious crime."
As he said this, some of the soldiers behind him smiled, but soon they became serious again. Seeing these elite soldiers in front of him carrying out orders and prohibitions, Yang Wenxiu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"They are indeed elite. There are such elites. I just don't know which general Li's descendant or nephew the new county magistrate named Li is."
Just as Magistrate Yang was thinking here, Li Dejiao spoke again.
"Magistrate Yang."
"Oh? What's the matter?"
Yang Wenxiu quickly came to his senses and said, "Is there any advice from County Magistrate Li?"
Li Dejiang scratched his head here, "This junior is here for the first time. We still need a lot of support from County Magistrate Yang. I wonder if Magistrate Yang can summon the subordinate officials in the county to meet with us and talk about the situation in the county?"
"This is what it should be. Magistrate Li is atonement, but Yang actually forgot and is going to summon the county officials now."
Yang Wenxiu hurriedly said what he should say, and then Magistrate Yang was at the gate of the county government office, shouting at the county government officials to come in quickly.
"My lord, do you have any plans?"
Magistrate Yang looked at the yamen servant he had worked with for many years and spoke.
"Go and inform all the county officials that the new Magistrate Li has arrived and wants to meet with you."
Magistrate Yang was a little angry when he saw that everyone was still staring blankly at the new magistrate in front of them after hearing his order.
"Why are you still standing there stupidly? Why don't you hurry up and inform us?"
After Magistrate Yang said this, the man came to his senses and ran out quickly, gathering together and talking with each other as he ran.
"This new Magistrate Li is so powerful. When he arrived, he summoned all his subordinate officials. Is this to beat them up?"
Li Dejiang didn't know what these government officials were thinking and doing here. Instead, he was just being polite with Magistrate Yang. After Magistrate Yang gave him the chief position, he began to explain to him the situation in the county government.
The front is where the government affairs are handled, and the small courtyard in the back is where they live.
This time, Li Dejiao finally no longer has to worry about his own livelihood. If he has a place to live, he can live in peace of mind.
But just when Li Dejiang thought that he didn't have to worry about traveling here anymore, he heard County Magistrate Yang talking here.
"I also asked Magistrate Li to stay overnight in a restaurant. Is that okay?"
Li Dejiao was a little curious at this moment, but he still agreed to Yang Wenxiu. "That's no problem."
Although I don’t know the reason, since Magistrate Yang has spoken, and seeing that he hasn’t left yet, his family must be here, and then Li
The moral prize is a fist.
"Can you please tell Magistrate Yang where the restaurants in this county that can accommodate people are? I'm a newbie here and I don't know much about these things."
"It's easy to talk, I'll arrange for the person in charge of the government to rent an inn for County Magistrate Li."
"inappropriate."
When Li Dejiao heard that Magistrate Yang wanted to arrange for someone to rent an inn with money from the county government, he directly rejected it.
"How does this happen? Everything in the county government is paid by the people. If you want to keep the people's flowers clean, you can't do it arbitrarily for our convenience."
When Li Dejiao said this, the eyes of the people in front of him couldn't help but shine.
Some of the soldiers who knew Li Dejiao's former playboy style lamented that Mr. Li had really grown up, and when County Magistrate Yang looked at him, he didn't know whether it was Li Dejiao's style or just Li Dejiao. Thinking this way, it made him feel a little unexpected.
However, before Magistrate Yang and Li Dejiao could stay here for a long time, some officials from the county government filed in, such as officials from the county such as recorders, military officers, Cao Xianwei, etc.
Li Dejiang looked at the many subordinate officials who came in and stood up to greet them one by one.
Although his status is prominent and cannot be compared with these people, he is here to make decisions for the people, not to dominate, so he must have a good relationship with these people.
Li Dejiang had just met people from the county town and had lunch together in the county government office. As soon as he sat down and talked about some county town talk, a policeman ran in in a panic.
Seeing the policeman running in in a panic, Yang Wenxiu spoke.
"How can you behave in such a panic? Why are you here if you are not patrolling outside?"
After Yang Wenxiu asked this question, the policeman said embarrassedly.
"The county magistrate."
But just as the police officer said that, County Magistrate Yang Wenxiu shook his head.
"I will be transferred tomorrow. This is not the county magistrate of Ming County. This one is."
Yang Wenxiu pointed at Li Dejiang, and Li Dejiang looked at him and said.
"what happened?"
The detective hurriedly clasped his fists. "That... is the Mei family. The Mei family is here."
"Mei family? Oh, I think I've heard of it. You have a Mei family here."
At this moment, everyone couldn't help but burst into an uproar.
"Does the county magistrate also know this? The Mei family was originally just an inconspicuous family."
A man who looked like a county captain said this, and Li Dejiang nodded.
"I know, it's because Mei Jingjing married General Zhongwu, right?"
At this moment, everyone here suddenly realized, "It seems that County Magistrate Li knows these things, so I can rest assured."
"Oh, don't worry? What should you worry about? Speaking of which, Mei Jingjing and I have some connections. Let the Mei family come in first and let me see what they are talking about."
When Li Dejiao said this, everyone couldn't help but twitch the corners of their mouths.
I was originally worried about how to deal with the Mei family, but now they finally have someone who is related to them. As long as something happens, everything will be blamed on the county magistrate, isn't it clear?
After Li Dexuan spoke, the yamen servant in the lobby hurriedly got up and went to the gate to let Mrs. Mei of the Mei family enter the county yamen.
Mrs. Mei also relied on Mei Jingjing's status to enter the county government office without putting anyone in her eyes.
After she walked into the county government office, she was followed by an honest and honest man, it was Uncle Mei.
As she came in, Mrs. Mei said, "Oh, damn you people, you actually made me wait outside for so long."
As soon as he heard her words, Li Dejiang's face became very ugly, and everyone also lowered their heads here, unable to see what they were thinking, and Yang Wenxiu, Magistrate Yang, stood up.
"Oh, Mrs. Mei, you are here. Come and see that this is the new county magistrate, Magistrate Li."
However, Aunt Mei didn't pay attention to Yang Wenxiu, but looked at Li Dejiao.
"This Li County
Ling Zhen is young and handsome. If my niece doesn't get married, I will definitely let her marry you. "
Li Dejiang's face turned a little dark at this moment, and Mrs. Mei continued, "My niece is Mei Jingjing, and she is married to a husband named Xu Yunyan."
Li Dejiang snorted coldly when he heard this.
"According to what you said, if Jingjing is not married, you still want her to marry me?"
Li Dejiang didn't call Mei Jingjing by her full name at all, but called her Jingjing, which made some people with ulterior motives listen. It felt really familiar, and Mrs. Mei nodded here.
"Yes, look at how well my daughter has lived after marrying the general. It is all because of my niece's good luck that the general has risen to prominence. Do you think this is true?"
This Mrs. Mei is showing off Mei Jingjing here, and Li Dejia looks at her, "Do you know where the Mei Jingjing you mentioned is now?"
"You know, isn't it at the general's residence of General Zhongwu? Living such a happy life, I still wrote to her every now and then."
Hearing this, Li Dejiang continued to snort coldly, "You write her letters every now and then? Where to send them? Send them to the underworld? Don't you know she has been dead for a long time?"
After saying this, Mrs. Mei felt like she was struck by lightning, but she quickly smiled again and said to Li Dejiao, "What? Magistrate Li, please don't make such a joke. How can a person die so easily?"
Aunt Mei was still talking to Mei Jingjing here, and there was no unexpected realization that Mei Jingjing had.
Li Dejiang couldn't help but sigh when he saw this.
"Why would I joke with you about something like this? I really know Mei Jingjing very well, quite well."
Li Dejiang said this, and in order to enhance his persuasiveness, he spoke directly to Aunt Mei.
"Mei Jingjing's husband, General Zhongwu, no, he should be General Yunhui now."
This sentence scared the people present in the Mingxian County Government to the point of being unable to do anything.
Became General Yunhui?
This was a serious purple-robed official. He was a million miles away from the fourth-rank official they remembered who was still wearing a red official uniform!
But when Li Dejiang said this just now, everyone couldn't help but sigh, this is County Magistrate Li's good luck! He actually has friendship with General Yunhui.
But the next sentence almost scared them so much that they sat on the ground unable to get up.
"He is the apprentice of my father, Duke Wei. Am I not familiar with him?"
Although he is also a general, among the other 16 generals in charge, who dares to compare with his father Li Jing?
While everyone was trembling here, Aunt Mei laughed happily when she heard that her cheap niece's husband had become a more professional man.
"Now that my niece Jingjing has found such a husband, then as Jingjing's only relatives, our Mei family will truly be proud of our ancestors."
But just as she finished speaking, Li Dejiang looked at her and said lightly.
"I think I told you that Mei Jingjing has passed away."
All of a sudden, Aunt Mei started acting crazy and acting stupid.
"But his husband is still here. Doesn't his husband care about us poor people? How can this be possible?"
This Aunt Mei was crying and shouting here to win sympathy, but Li Dejiang didn't pay attention to her and instead said it again.
"I have also heard them say that they seem to have completely distanced themselves from you. Although they are both named Mei, they are not related at all. You are using her name to show off your power here, be careful of me punishing you. sin."
